Use of Depth ?

mcoenca opened this issue · comments

Hello,
Just a question that might lead to a readme improvement.

Are you using in any way the depth sensor to improve the hand tracking ?

Or are your motivations only to port the RGB detection and model of Mediapipe to the RGB + gpu of DepthAI ?

Thanks !

Best,

Hi, yes this is mainly the port of Mediapipe hand tracking on RGB frames. The depth sensor is not used to improve the hand tracking, but to get the 3D location of the wrist keypoint, by using the -xyz option in demo.py or the xyz flag in HandTracker class.
