Detects hands keypoints seen on any video or live camera.
Project updated! I wrote a Medium Story making an introduction on the problem of hand recognition, how it's done with OpenPose and why this Standalone Hand Keypoint Detector is needed. Have a read there! https://medium.com/@apofeniaco/into-the-problem-of-hand-recognition-da30797450fe
This hand detector is currently made by integrating two third party tools:
To run, do just
python run.py
It will detect and display hands found on your webcam stream.
Only left hands are find correctly. This is because the neural network the Handtracking project uses is unable to distinguish if the hand is a left or right hand, and OpenPose needs this information to fully detect the hand keypoints.
Stay tuned! Following versions coming soon, enabling left and right hand detection and a own Neural Network to make a fully contained project :)
