Added finger counter

[mehabhalodiya]

Description

• Initially, I had gone through hand tracking and then I had used the hand landmarks to count of the fingers.
• All of this is happening in realtime and requires close to no installations and configurations.
• I have used OpenCV, along with some built-in modules of python like time and os.

Fixes #817

Can you please check from your side? @kaustubhgupta @santushtisharma10
Kindly help me.

Let me know if it's working well or else suggest me changes. I will go through that.
Afterwards I will create README.md file.

[kaustubhgupta]

Minor change, else it worked at my end

[kaustubhgupta]

Suggested change

	folderPath = "FingerImages"
	folderPath = "./Finger-Counter/FingerImages"

[mehabhalodiya]

I will create a README.md file for this by tomorrow.

[kaustubhgupta]

Create the readme for this

[mehabhalodiya]

@kaustubhgupta @santushtisharma10 @antrikshmisri Kindly review this.

@mehabhalodiya This code is exactly the same as this code on stackoverflow, unless it was asked by you. @kaustubhgupta @santushtisharma10

Hello @antrikshmisri , I wasn't also aware of which you have provided the link like it exists there.
Actually I have gone through all steps and so understood it well that how it works! Even if you feel this wrong then you can suggest me changes.

I understand your point. Since my Code looks too similar, you can suggest/tell for some changes. So that you can verify whether I understand things fully, by refactoring a few parts.

This is my sincere request as I haven't copied from there.
Hope you will understand.

[kaustubhgupta]

@antrikshmisri yes the code is way too similar. I think we should give @mehabhalodiya one more chance to improve upon the code as she has a good history of contributions (9 PRs merged: https://github.com/avinashkranjan/Amazing-Python-Scripts/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amehabhalodiya+is%3Aclosed)

@santushtisharma10 @antrikshmisri should we give her the chance?

[mehabhalodiya]

You all mentors can suggest me changes in this script, I will do that as per your instructions.
Asking to all three of you for some guidance in this so that I can perform it as you want me to do.
Kindly requesting to suggest me something in this.

[santushtisharma10]

I agree, we should give her chance

[antrikshmisri]

@kaustubhgupta Sure, we can her another chance based on her contributions. @mehabhalodiya Either restructure your code entirely or you can come up with some new features for it.

Yes, thank you for understanding me.
But I am stuck now like what should be modified?
Any of you can suggest me some changes as I am not knowing what to do further?
I need some help like @kaustubhgupta helped me in Youtube Video Downloader script.
Waiting for your response.

[mehabhalodiya]

Kindly let me know if you want any changes because I myself don't know.
So asking to you all.

[mehabhalodiya]

If you feel that it's good to go then please inform me.
If you are not satisfied with this then I will work until and unless you will guide me.
Awaiting...

[kaustubhgupta]

Hi @mehabhalodiya,
The hand tracking module can't be changed that much. For the finger counting module, wrap your code in a class (as done in handtracking)

[santushtisharma10]

Suggested change

	cv2.imshow("Image", img)
	cv2.waitKey(1)
	cv2.imshow("Image", img)
	if cv2.waitKey(1) == ord('q') :
	break
	cv2.destroyAllWindows()

[santushtisharma10]

@mehabhalodiya the script is working on my local system, just add these final changes.

[mehabhalodiya]

Thank you for helping me wherever I got stuck :)
