how is this related to FFmpeg ?

the closest i could think of could be a video filter to detect hand
gestures, that could be done if it has a usecase within ffmpeg or
some user application, but does it have a use case ?
it might have some uses if its able to detect more generic things
than hand gestures but thats quite different then from what you
suggested

also the OpenCV dependancy seems a premature optimization, first
plain C based gesture detection should probably be implemented
