How to Integrate HUAWEI ML Kit’s Hand Keypoint Detection Capability

Introduction

In the previous post, we looked at how to use HUAWEI ML Kit's skeleton detection capability to detect points such as the head, neck, shoulders, knees, and ankles. But as well as skeleton detection, ML Kit also provides a hand keypoint detection capability, which can locate 21 hand keypoints, such as fingertips, joints, and wrists. 

Application Scenarios

Hand keypoint detection is useful in a huge range of situations. For example, short video apps can generate some cute and funny special effects based on hand keypoints, to add more fun to short videos.
