FYP2_WEEK 1 (HAND DETECTION CODE FOR DATA COLLECTION)

 In the first week of FYP 2, I had decided to develop the code for hand detection that will be use during the data collection process. The code involve libraries such as OpenCV and Mediapipe's hand detection solution that helps in detecting the hand and mapping data points on the hand. The output generated are as the image below.

 

During the coding process, I stumbled upon a problem which is to create an output window that only capture the hand part. This process is important because it helps in improving the sign recognition task by reducing the size of the image and cropping the unwanted background that could affect the quality of the generated sign recognition algorithm later. i continue the make research on how to solve this problem in several platform such as youtube, stackoverflow, and chatGPT.
