Software to detect hand from videostream (webcam) and detect fingertips, number of fingers etc. The software is based on OpenCV, and is tested on Ubuntu 12.04 (both 32 and 64 bits) using both the 2.4.7 and 2.4.8 version of OpenCV
The software is compiled using the Makefile. Simply run
$make
in the terminal if you use Linux Or Mac, or simply run the command:
g++ -o opencv main.cpp myImage.cpp handGesture.cpp roi.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`
In the future I will add instructions on how to compile with Visual Studio, as there has been alot of requests for this
