Learn to implement gesture detection using MediaPipe in this comprehensive tutorial. Explore the process of utilizing handLandmarks from MediaPipe to recognize and detect hand gestures. Develop a conceptual algorithm showing promise for accurate gesture recognition. Dive into topics such as basic configuration, distance formulas, distance matrices, error arrays, and data simplification. Follow along with practical demonstrations in Visual Studio Code, including importing NumPy, creating distance matrices, and calculating distances between key points. Implement error handling, unknown gesture detection, and gesture classification techniques. By the end of this lesson, gain the skills to build a functional gesture detection system using Python, OpenCV, and MediaPipe.
