# Finger Detection and Tracking

Tracking the movement of a finger is an important feature of many computer vision applications. In this application, A histogram based approach is used to separate out the hand from the background frame. Thresholding and Filtering techniques are used for background cancellation to obtain optimum results.

## Tutorial
