1.Abstract

Hand gesture recognition has become an essential component in the field of human-computer interaction, enabling intuitive and touchless communication between users and digital systems. This project focuses on developing a real-time hand gesture recognition system using the pre-trained MediaPipe library, which provides efficient and accurate hand tracking and landmark detection capabilities.

The primary objective of this project is to classify six distinct hand gestures: thumbs up, thumbs down, open palm, closed fist, victory sign, and pointing gesture. These gestures are commonly used in daily communication and can be effectively mapped to various control commands in applications such as virtual interfaces, gaming, assistive technologies, and smart environments.

The system leverages MediaPipe’s hand tracking module to detect and extract 21 key landmarks from the hand in real time. These landmarks are then processed and passed into a gesture recognition model, implemented using a pre-trained task file (gesture recognizer). The model analyzes spatial relationships between the landmarks to accurately classify the gesture being performed. The use of a pre-trained model significantly reduces development time while maintaining high accuracy and performance.

The implementation is carried out in Python within a Visual Studio Code environment. The project setup involves organizing necessary files such as the gesture recognition script and the gesture recognizer task file within the designated project directory. Real-time video input is captured through a webcam, and the system processes each frame to detect hands and recognize gestures dynamically.

This project demonstrates the effectiveness of combining computer vision techniques with machine learning-based models to achieve robust gesture recognition. It also highlights the potential of MediaPipe as a lightweight and scalable solution for real-time applications. The proposed system can be further extended by adding more gesture classes, improving classification accuracy, or integrating it with other AI-based systems for enhanced functionality.

Overall, this work contributes to the advancement of natural user interfaces by enabling seamless, gesture-based interaction without the need for physical contact or traditional input devices.

2. Objectives

To detect and track human hands in real time using computer vision.
To classify hand gestures into predefined categories.
To use a pre-trained model for efficient and accurate recognition.
To enable touchless interaction between humans and machines.
To build a lightweight and real-time gesture recognition system.

3.Existing System

• Traditional hand gesture recognition systems mainly rely on image processing techniques such as skin color detection, contour extraction, and edge detection.

• Some systems use machine learning models that require large datasets and complex training procedures.

• Existing systems often depend on external sensors such as gloves or depth cameras to capture hand movements.

• Many gesture recognition approaches lack real-time performance and are not optimized for low-cost devices.

4. Proposed System

• Develop a real-time hand gesture recognition system using the pre-trained MediaPipe library.

• Use MediaPipe’s hand tracking module to detect and extract 21 hand landmark points efficiently.

• Classify six gestures: thumbs up, thumbs down, open palm, closed fist, victory, and pointing.
