Documentation for Hand Landmark Detection Project

1. Documentation Developer

1.1 Structure
The project follows a modular structure with a Flask web application (`app.py`), a Python
module for hand landmark detection (`c.py`), and an HTML template (`index.html`). The code is
organized to enhance readability, maintainability, and ease of collaboration.

1.2 Idea
The primary goal of the project is to detect and visualize hand landmarks in real-time using the
MediaPipe library. The Flask application serves as a user interface to display the video stream
with overlaid hand landmarks, and the HTML template provides additional information about the
detected landmarks.

1.3 Flowchart
The development process involves initializing the DroidCam camera, capturing frames,
detecting hand landmarks using the `c.py` module, and rendering the video stream with
landmarks in the web interface.

2. Notation
 `mpHands`: MediaPipe Hands module for hand detection.
 `hands`: Instance of the MediaPipe Hands model.
 `mpDraw`: MediaPipe drawing utilities for visualizing landmarks and connections.

3. Completeness
The project achieves completeness by providing a functional web application that successfully
captures video frames, detects hand landmarks, and renders the results in real-time. The HTML
template also includes a list of hand landmarks for user reference.

4. Machine Learning Pipeline


The machine learning pipeline involves initializing the MediaPipe Hands model (`hands`) and
processing each frame to obtain hand landmarks. The pipeline ensures real-time performance
for detecting 21 hand landmarks.

5. Program

5.1 Readability
 The code is well-commented, providing explanations for key sections and functions.
 Meaningful variable names enhance code readability.
 Proper indentation and spacing are maintained for clarity.

5.2 Structure/Modules
 The code is organized into separate modules (`app.py`, `c.py`) for better modularity.
 Flask routes (`/` and `/video`) handle different aspects of the application.

5.3 Parameter Handling


 Parameters for drawing specifications, image encoding, and camera initialization are
appropriately handled within the code.

5.4 Error Handling


 Basic error handling is implemented, such as checking for successful frame capture and
hand detection.
 Improvements can be made to enhance error messages and user feedback.
5.5 Message Handling
 The application displays informative messages, such as the successful detection of 21
hand landmarks.

5.6 Names
 Variable and function names are descriptive and follow Python naming conventions.

From Development to Deployment

1. Data Structure
The hand landmark detection application utilizes real-time video frames from the camera. The
data structure primarily involves the pixel values in each frame, which are processed by the
MediaPipe Hands model. The model outputs hand landmarks, represented as a set of (x, y)
coordinates for each detected hand.

2. Tools
The development and deployment of the hand landmark detection project involve several tools:

 Flask: Used for creating the web application and handling HTTP requests.
 OpenCV: Utilized for capturing and processing video frames.
 MediaPipe: Employs the MediaPipe library for hand landmark detection.
 HTML and CSS: Used for designing and structuring the user interface.

3. File Structure for Model Exchange


To facilitate model exchange between development and deployment environments, it's essential
to organize the project files effectively. A suggested file structure might include:
hand_landmark_detection/
│
├── app.py
├── c.py
├── templates/
│ └── index.html
├── Readme.txt

 app.py: The main Flask application file.


 c.py: Module containing the hand landmark detection functions.
 templates/: Folder containing HTML templates.
 Readme.txt: File specifying required Python packages.
 models/: Directory to store the trained hand landmark detection model.

4. Model
The hand tracking model used in MediaPipe is called "BlazePose". The BlazePose model is
designed for real-time pose estimation, detecting and tracking key body landmarks such as the
head, shoulders, hands, knees, and joints in the feet.
This model plays a crucial role in accurately tracking the positions of various body parts in real-
time video frames captured by a camera.

5. Using app.py, c.py, and HTML Code


The provided `app.py`, `c.py`, and `index.html` codes serve as the foundation for the hand
landmark detection application. Ensure that all dependencies are installed (as listed in
`requirements.txt`) and the model file is available in the specified directory.
To run the application, execute the following command:
```bash
python app.py
```
Visit `http://localhost:5000/` in a web browser to interact with the hand landmark detection
interface.
This comprehensive structure enables seamless transition from development to deployment,
ensuring proper organization of files, model exchange, and execution of the application in a
production environment.

Deployment Perspective

1. Application Description
The hand landmark detection application is designed for deployment to provide real-time hand
landmark visualization through a web interface. Users can access the application via a web
browser, interacting with the camera to view their hand landmarks in real-time. The application's
deployment emphasizes accessibility and responsiveness for end-users.

2. Structure
The deployment structure maintains a clear separation between the Flask web application, hand
landmark detection module, HTML templates, and static files. It ensures an organized
deployment environment for efficient execution.

3. Idea
The deployment idea revolves around providing an intuitive and real-time hand landmark
detection experience for end-users. The application leverages the power of Flask to serve the
web interface, OpenCV for capturing and processing video frames, and MediaPipe for accurate
hand landmark detection.
