Hand Keypoints Dataset

Introduzione

The hand-keypoints dataset contains 26,768 images of hands annotated with keypoints, making it suitable for training models like Ultralytics YOLO for pose estimation tasks. The annotations were generated using the Google MediaPipe library, ensuring high accuracy and consistency, and the dataset is compatible Ultralytics YOLOv8 formats.

Hand Landmarks

KeyPoints

The dataset includes keypoints for hand detection. The keypoints are annotated as follows:

1. Wrist
2. Thumb (4 points)
3. Index finger (4 points)
4. Middle finger (4 points)
5. Ring finger (4 points)
6. Little finger (4 points)

Each hand has a total of 21 keypoints.

Caratteristiche principali

• Large Dataset: 26,768 images with hand keypoint annotations.
• YOLOv8 Compatibility: Ready for use with YOLOv8 models.
• 21 Keypoints: Detailed hand pose representation.

Struttura del set di dati

The hand keypoint dataset is split into two subsets:

1. Train: This subset contains 18,776 images from the hand keypoints dataset, annotated for training pose estimation models.
2. Val: This subset contains 7992 images that can be used for validation purposes during model training.

Applicazioni

Hand keypoints can be used for gesture recognition, AR/VR controls, robotic manipulation, and hand movement analysis in healthcare. They can be also applied in animation for motion capture and biometric authentication systems for security.

Set di dati YAML

A YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) file is used to define the dataset configuration. It contains information about the dataset's paths, classes, and other relevant information. In the case of the Hand Keypoints dataset, the hand-keypoints.yaml Il file viene mantenuto all'indirizzo https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/hand-keypoints.yaml.

Utilizzo

To train a YOLOv8n-pose model on the Hand Keypoints dataset for 100 epochs with an image size of 640, you can use the following code snippets. For a comprehensive list of available arguments, refer to the model Training page.

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n-pose.pt")  # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)

# Train the model
results = model.train(data="hand-keypoints.yaml", epochs=100, imgsz=640)

# Start training from a pretrained *.pt model
yolo pose train data=hand-keypoints.yaml model=yolov8n-pose.pt epochs=100 imgsz=640

Immagini di esempio e annotazioni

The Hand keypoints dataset contains a diverse set of images with human hands annotated with keypoints. Here are some examples of images from the dataset, along with their corresponding annotations:

• Immagine a mosaico: Questa immagine mostra un lotto di formazione composto da immagini del dataset mosaicate. Il mosaico è una tecnica utilizzata durante l'addestramento che combina più immagini in un'unica immagine per aumentare la varietà di oggetti e scene all'interno di ogni gruppo di addestramento. Questo aiuta a migliorare la capacità del modello di generalizzarsi a oggetti di dimensioni, rapporti di aspetto e contesti diversi.

The example showcases the variety and complexity of the images in the Hand Keypoints dataset and the benefits of using mosaicing during the training process.
