Parsing Mediapipe Data for Face Mesh, Pose, and Hand Landmarks

We all love the incredibly powerful features of the Mediapipe AI library. But, lets face it, the data is very hard to interpret, and the returned data structures are complex, and poorly documented. The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to parse the complex data structures coming from Mediapipe, and to create simple, intuitive arrays for the landmark data. We create classes in python which do the parsing, and the classes are easy to work with. With these classes, you can use mediapipe simply, and get simple to understand data structures back. The video explains what we are doing and how we are doing it. For your convenience the resulting code is posted below.
