Technical Overview

How the solution is organized and why the structure matters.

Accessible computer-vision application that tracks hand landmarks, recognizes signed phrases, and converts predictions into readable live captions. The technical blueprint separates responsibilities into clear layers so the solution can be tested, explained, extended, and handed over confidently.

System Architecture

Four clear layers keep responsibilities understandable and maintainable.

01

Data and validation layer

Collects structured inputs, validates quality, and prepares consistent features for training or inference.

02

Model pipeline

Separates preprocessing, model execution, evaluation, and versioned experiment artifacts.

03

Application and API layer

Exposes predictions through a controlled service boundary that the interface can consume safely.

04

Evaluation and monitoring

Tracks accuracy, failure cases, latency, drift indicators, and reproducibility across model versions.

Technology Stack

The practical role of each technology in this project.

Python

Core implementation language for analysis, automation, services, and models.

MediaPipe

Real-time perception pipelines for hand, face, pose, and multimodal landmarks.

OpenCV

Image processing, camera input handling, and computer-vision utilities.

TensorFlow

Training and serving framework for deep-learning models.

Transformers

Attention-based language models for semantic and generative tasks.

WebSocket

Persistent bidirectional connection for low-latency application events.

Implementation Workflow

A reviewable path from requirements to tested handover.

01

Requirements and constraints

Confirm users, inputs, outputs, acceptance criteria, platform limits, and delivery scope.

02

Architecture and prototype

Validate the highest-risk technical decisions with a small working baseline before full implementation.

03

Implementation and integration

Build in reviewable modules, connect the selected technologies, and document key decisions.

04

Verification and handover

Test expected and failure paths, review outcomes, and prepare technical documentation and guidance.
