Sign Language Detection

Unlock the power of communication with our Sign Language Detection project! This innovative project uses OpenCV and the MediaPipe Hand module to recognize American Sign Language (ASL) letters. With a dataset containing 100 samples for each of the 26 letters, the project is ready to go for ASL recognition. Whether you're directly detecting ASL or want to customize it for another alphabet, we've got you covered!

Requirements

• opencv-python==4.7.0.68
• mediapipe==0.9.0.1
• scikit-learn==1.2.0

Installation

Install the requirements using:

pip install opencv-python mediapipe numpy tensorflow 

Usage

To start recognizing ASL letters, simply run the camera_demo.py file:

python camera_demo.py

If you want to train the model for a different alphabet, follow these steps:

• Collect data by running collect_imgs.py:

  python collect_imgs.py

• Process the collected images into a dataset using create_dataset.py:

  python create_dataset.py

• Train your model with the new dataset using train_model.py:

  python train_model.py

• Run the demo with the trained model using camera_demo.py. Ensure the model path in camera_demo.py is correctly set.

Important Notes

Before running camera_demo.py, make sure the model path is correctly set to the trained model in the script.
