gesture-opencv

This python script can be used to analyse hand gestures by contour detection, and convex hull of hand palm using opencv library used for computer vision processes.

• Built using OpenCV 2.4.12 on Python 2.7.10
• Works on OpenCV 2.4.x, 3.2.x and Python 2.x, Python 3.x

• wget https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/3.2.0.zip

• unzip 3.2.0.zip

• cd opencv-3.2.0

• mkdir release && cd release

    cmake -DBUILD_TIFF=ON \
        -DBUILD_opencv_java=OFF \

        -DPYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH=$(python3.6 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") ..
  

• The output of above will be similar to this: output

• make -j4

• make install
