- Description
- In this research, symbolic hand mudras of the Indian traditional dance style of Bharatanatyam are recognized and categorized using deep learning techniques. The three main goals are establishing baseline datasets to identify and categorize hasta mudras, designing an automated tutoring program for prospective students, and constructing a system for recommending videos that support cultural heritage. The research achieves a real-time recognition accuracy of 85% to 95% using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and the Mobile Net architecture. This activity greatly aids virtual learning during pandemics, worldwide cultural relations, and preserving intangible cultural assets. The three main goals of this research are to establish baseline datasets for accurate mudra identification, create an automated tutoring program for participants, and build a video recommendation system to promote cultural heritage globally. The benchmark datasets that are used to train the models are made up of high-quality photos and videos of mudras that are taken and annotated under the direction of experts. While the video recommendation system supports attempts to preserve culture and advance education, the automated tutoring system provides participants with a comprehensive virtual learning environment and tailored feedback. To ensure the survival and continued appreciation of Bharatanatyam around the world, our endeavor substantially enhances virtual education, deep learning, and cultural preservation.
