# OpenCV Plugin for gesture detection


## Background

The idea of the project is to add a plugin to gst-plugins-bad/ext/opencv for gesture(eg:hand) detection. 

* implement the [[GestureDetection|GestureDetection]] + [[GestureTracking|GestureTracking]] plugin 
* synthesize navigation-events (use case: control media player using gestures) 
* sub task: Port all the gst-opencv plugins(facedetect, textoverlay etc..) to 0.11/1.0
