AI BASED VIRTUAL PAINTER

• Allows users to paint using their index finger, while in a video.

• Draw stuff.

  

• Change colors.

  

• Erase.

  

• Clear the screen.

  

Basic Functionality (For non-programmers) :

• You'll enter drawing mode when only Index finger is up.

• If the middle finger is also up, you'll enter selection mode.

• Selection mode allows you to switch between colors/eraser or clear the screen.

Brief:

This model utilizes MediaPipe's hand tracking functions to get hand landmarks(reference points) that enable the user to actually draw stuff on the screen.

• Libraries used: OpenCV, MediaPipe, os, numpy, time
• handtrackingmodule.py is actually a class with functions like hand-landmark detector, fingers-up check and much more. We have used an instance(detector) from this class in our main program.
• Index finger tip's landmark is used to draw on the canvas.

The steps and tacks have been explicitly mentioned in the comments of the code.
