Application for detecting hand gestures from webcam to order grocery items while social distancing.
COVID-19 has made us exercise social distancing, we need to keep distance of around 6ft at all times, this could become an hassle specially during buying daily groceries where we are forced to have hand interaction; me and my project partner thought of what if we could use hand gesture recognition from a safe distance to buy groceries. This motivated us to try and train an Artificial Intelligence based system that can recognize different hand gestures We used OpenCV to capture the input from the webcam and then separate the background from the foreground and to detect a hand with various shapes denoting various symbols, we used Numpy to do the classification.
