Hand Gesture Recognition

Webcam hand landmarks classified into gestures that control media

1-2 weeks build

Overview

MediaPipe tracks 21 hand landmarks per frame from an ordinary webcam; the kit normalises them for position and scale and feeds them to a small classifier trained on gestures you record yourself. Recognised gestures play, pause, skip and change volume on the system media player, with a debounce so one wave is one command.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Real-time 21-point hand landmark tracking on a laptop CPU
  • 02Wrist-relative, scale-normalised features that ignore hand position
  • 03Recording tool to capture and label your own gesture set
  • 04Debounced gesture-to-command mapping for media keys and volume
  • 05Confusion matrix and per-gesture F1 reported in the notebook

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Capture

    Webcam loop with MediaPipe Hands and an on-screen landmark overlay.

  2. 02

    Dataset tool

    Keypress labelling that writes landmark rows to CSV.

  3. 03

    Classifier

    Random forest and MLP compared on the same normalised features.

  4. 04

    Controller

    Maps stable predictions to media and volume actions.

  5. 05

    Evaluation

    Train-test split, confusion matrix and latency per frame.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain why landmarks beat raw pixels for gesture classification
  • Defend your normalisation and debounce choices
  • Demo live media control in front of examiners
