Pose Estimation

A computer vision technique that detects and tracks the positions of human body joints, hands, and facial landmarks from images or video. In accessibility contexts, pose estimation is a foundational technology for sign language recognition systems, gesture-based interfaces, and movement analysis tools. Frameworks like MediaPipe extract landmark coordinates that can be processed by machine learning models to interpret human movements, enabling applications such as sign language dictionaries, gesture input systems, and physical therapy tools for people with disabilities.
