Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI Hand Gesture Recognition work?

Our AI Hand Gesture Recognition uses advanced computer vision models trained on thousands of hand gesture images. The AI analyzes hand pose, finger positions, orientation, and overall hand shape to identify specific gestures. It can distinguish between different hand signs, determine handedness (left or right hand), and provide confidence scores for each detected gesture. The system recognizes common gestures like thumbs up, peace signs, pointing, and many others.

What types of hand gestures can be recognized?

Our tool can recognize a wide variety of hand gestures including thumbs up/down, peace sign (V-sign), OK sign, pointing gestures, fist, open palm, stop sign, wave, rock/paper/scissors poses, number counting (1-10), and many cultural hand signs. The system works with single-hand and two-hand gestures, and can identify multiple gestures in the same image.

How accurate is hand gesture recognition?

Accuracy depends on image quality, hand visibility, and gesture clarity. For clear, well-lit images with unobstructed hands, accuracy typically ranges from 90-98%. The system provides confidence levels for each detected gesture and overall analysis quality scores. Simple, common gestures like thumbs up or peace signs have higher accuracy than complex or culturally specific gestures.

What image conditions work best for gesture recognition?

For optimal results, ensure hands are clearly visible and well-lit with good contrast against the background. Avoid shadows, glare, or motion blur. The hands should be unobstructed and positioned clearly in the frame. Both front-facing and side-view gestures work, but clear finger definition is important for accurate recognition.

What are common use cases for hand gesture recognition?

This tool is valuable for accessibility applications, sign language learning and analysis, gesture-based user interface development, cultural gesture documentation, educational purposes for teaching hand signs, social media content analysis, research in human-computer interaction, and developing gesture-controlled applications. It's useful for developers, researchers, educators, and anyone working with gesture-based communication.
