FingerSense

FingerSense is a real-time webcam filter that detects when the middle finger is shown and automatically applies a Gaussian blur to censor it. It leverages OpenCV and MediaPipe for accurate hand tracking, combined with a gesture history voting system to reduce flicker and ensure smooth, reliable detection.

Features

• Real-time middle finger detection using MediaPipe hand tracking
• Automatic Gaussian blur applied to censor the middle finger gesture
• Gesture history voting system to stabilize detection and minimize flicker
• Handles hand disappearance gracefully to prevent crashes

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/FingerSense.git
   cd FingerSense

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the main script to start the webcam filter:

python finger_sense.py

Show your middle finger to see it blurred in real-time!

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• OpenCV (opencv-python==4.10.0.82)
• MediaPipe (mediapipe==0.10.21)
