Sign Language Detector with Open CV and Python: Hand Gesture Recognition

Hand Gesture Recognition using OpenCV and Python

I have created a YouTube video demonstrating my hand gesture recognition program using OpenCV and Python that can detect sign language gestures! โœ‹๐Ÿค–

Project Overview

In this project, I did the following:

  1. Set up OpenCV and Python for computer vision
  2. Captured and processed real-time video input
  3. Implemented machine learning for gesture recognition
  4. Detected and interpreted sign language gestures

Video Demonstration

Check out the video below:

This is awesome! Are you planning on having it "learn" signs so that i can interpret ASL to English?

Thank you so much! Yes, I hope to integrate AI that will allow it to learn how to translate into different types of Sign Languages.
