Finding gesturing software

[DonaldTsang]

Here is eight that is done at least somewhat useful

• https://github.com/lzane/Fingers-Detection-using-OpenCV-and-Python/issues/11 (207 stars, fresh)
• https://github.com/mahaveerverma/hand-gesture-recognition-opencv/issues/17 (186 stars)
• https://github.com/Gogul09/gesture-recognition/issues/7 (30 stars)
• https://github.com/avidLearnerInProgress/hand-gesture-recognition/issues/1 (9 stars)
• https://github.com/deepalichakre/Hand-Gesture-Recognition-for-Presentation-Process-in-Python/issues/5 (4 stars)
• https://github.com/dtanejaxyz/Hand_Recognition/issues/2 (4 stars)
• https://github.com/franciscapessanha/Hand-pose-recognition/issues/1 (3 stars, fresh)
• https://github.com/Gurudev333/Hand-gesture-for-digit-Recognition-/issues/1 (3 stars)

Here is the reasoning behind the picking of these repos:

1. They do not use Neural Networks or most types of computationally complex MLs
   • Keras and Tensorflow is strictly forbidden, along with others like Caffe or (Py)Torch
2. They are written in Python, and uses OpenCV and/or Skikit-Learn
   • I do not count Scikit-Learn as ML, to be a bit lax about it
3. They need to be active in the last two years (no old code thanks)
4. They must have more than 3 stars (otherwise there will be too many entries in this list)
