# HandStar

HandStar is a Python library that uses Mediapipe and OpenCV to make hand detection and tracking easy. It provides functionalities to detect hands in real-time from camera feed, visualize hand landmarks, and calculate distances between specific landmarks.

## Features

- Real-time hand detection and tracking.
- Visualization of hand landmarks and connections.
- Calculation of distances between specified landmarks (e.g., fingertips).

## Installation

You can install HandStar using pip:

```bash
pip install hand-star
```
## Code
```bash
import cv2
from hand_star.hand_star import HandStar

def main():
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
detector = HandStar(maxHands=2)

while True:
success, img = cap.read()
if not success:
break

img = detector.detect_hands(img)
lmList = detector.get_hand_positions(img)

# Additional functionalities
fingersList = detector.get_fingers_status()
for i, fingers in enumerate(fingersList):
print(f"Hand {i+1}:", fingers)
length, img, lineInfo = detector.calculate_distance(4, 8, img, handNo=i)
print(f"Hand {i+1} Distance:", length)

cv2.imshow('Hand Detection', img)

if cv2.waitKey(1) == ord('q'):
break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

```
