# Hand Gesture YOLOv8 (ONNX INT8)
## Overview
This repository contains a YOLOv8 nano model trained for real-time hand gesture detection and optimized for edge and mobile devices.

The model is exported to ONNX format and quantized to INT8 for efficient on-device inference.

## Model Details
- **Architecture:** YOLOv8n (Nano)
- **Task:** Hand gesture detection
- **Format:** ONNX
- **Precision:** INT8 (W8A8)
- **Input size:** 640 × 640
- **Classes:** 
  - hand-gestures  
  - left  
  - right  
  - stop  
  - mvefrd  

## Included Assets
- `hand_gesture_yolo_onnx_w8a8.zip`
  - `model.onnx`
  - `tool_versions.yaml`
  - `data.yaml`

Each ZIP follows the Qualcomm AI Hub Community contribution guidelines.

## Training Summary
- Dataset size: 330 images
- Training platform: Kaggle (NVIDIA Tesla T4)
- Framework: Ultralytics YOLOv8
- Quantization: ONNX INT8

## Intended Use
- Edge AI applications
- Gesture-based interfaces
- Touchless controls
- Academic and research purposes

## Limitations
- The model is trained on a small dataset and may not generalize to all lighting conditions or camera angles.
- Performance may vary depending on device and runtime.
