Custom Hand Gesture Recognition with Hand Landmarks Using Google’s Mediapipe + OpenCV in Python

Описание: Hey what's up, y'all! In this video we'll take a look at a really cool GitHub repo that I found that allows us to easily train a Keras neural network to recognize our own custom hand gestures, and that runs flawlessly on a CPU. But there's more: I'll actually guide you through the entire process and explain the logic of how everything works behind the scenes too. We'll use Mediapipe for extracting hand landmarks (which runs a pipeline of TensorFlow neural nets under the hood), which will allow us to use relatively small training datasets for training on our new custom hand gestures.
