Real-Time Fingers Counter & Hand Gesture Recognizer with Mediapipe and Python

by Taha Anwar and Rizwan Naeem | Aug 23, 2021

In this week’s tutorial, we’ll learn to utilize the landmarks to count and fingers (that are up) in images and videos and create a real-time hand counter. We will also create a hand finger recognition and visualization application that will display the exact fingers that are up. This will work for both hands.

Real-Time 3D Hands Landmarks Detection & Hands Classification with Mediapipe and Python

by Taha Anwar and Rizwan Naeem | Aug 16, 2021

In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to do real-time 3D hands landmarks detection using the Mediapipe library in python. After that, we’ll learn to perform hands type classification (i.e. is it a left or right hand) and then draw the bounding boxes around the hands by retrieving the required coordinates from the detected landmarks.
