This repo involves the use of tensorflow object detection API to build a custom sign language recognizer. For this project I focused on few words,verbs,pronouns and greetings in the Nigerian Sign Language.
All steps followed are available here the tensorflow object detection API docs.
I collected my data from my webcam with the script
python data_collection_script.py
For automatic label Map generation. Edit the labelMap.py file according to your different labels. Then run
python labelMap.py
For detecting sign language with webcam
python webcam_detection.py
