Code Analysis

5 files read ยท 2 rounds

A three-script ASL letter recognition pipeline that captures hand landmark images via MediaPipe, trains a small MLP on wrist-relative normalized 42-dim landmark vectors, and performs real-time webcam classification of A-Z signs.

Strengths

The wrist-relative, scale-normalized landmark feature engineering is a clean and effective approach that makes the model invariant to hand position and size, and the three-script separation (capture/train/predict) is well-organized for the task.

Weaknesses

No tests exist, the README is heavily padded with broken links and marketing copy that misrepresents the project as a downloadable application rather than a set of Python scripts, and there's a potential NameError bug in capture_dataset.py where 'crop' could be referenced before assignment.
