AI-Virtual-Painter-using-Raspberry-Pi

This is a project that uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to create a virtual painting application that can be controlled by hand gestures. The project uses a Raspberry Pi as the hardware platform and a Pi Camera as the input device.

Features

• The application can detect the hand landmarks and gestures using MediaPipe.
• The application can draw different shapes and colors on the screen using OpenCV.
• The application can erase the drawing by clicking on the clear button.
• The application can save the drawing as an image file.

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (or higher)
• Pi Camera Module V2 (or compatible)
• Python 3.7 (or higher)
• OpenCV 4.5.3 (or higher)
• MediaPipe 0.8.8 (or higher)

Installation

• Connect the Pi Camera to the Raspberry Pi and enable it in the settings.

• Clone this repository to your Raspberry Pi using the command:

  git clone https://github.com/Mochoye/AI-Virtual-Painter-using-Raspberry-Pi.git

• Install the required packages using the command:

  pip install mediapipe opencv-python

Usage

• Run the main script using the command:

  python Canvas.py

• Place your hand in front of the camera and make a fist gesture to start drawing.

• Move your hand around to draw on the screen.

• Erase the drawing by clicking on clear button.

• Save the drawing by showing a thumbs up gesture.
