new face detection video (Code Now Downloadable)
Jun 1st, 2009, 8:01pm  
update 2..i put the code up so you can now download it.  Hey it isn't pretty, as i thought i would have a chance to work on it further next week but i didn't so here it is warts and all.  http://www.nikpalmer.com/I_am_Brad_Pitt/



update..i put a better video up.


aha...second thing i meant to say on the first poast.  I also played a little with the face detection stuff.  And after a bit of a p*** around with libraries i got it all working.

In true Processing style i very quickly built a little app that puts a face over your face as your video camera tracks you.

It's rough and stupid, but sure is fun to play with.  I may have an app and code up pretty soon when i think of a couple of cool things to do with it.

here it is  http://www.nikpalmer.com/I_am_Brad_Pitt/

thanks again for everyones help

this is great.
how did you get the image to sit so smoothly on your face?
i have been using facedetect to try and control the mouse but with some wobbly results. have you used blobs?

It's totally rough.  I use two things that help with the face mapping.  First i notice that the faces (or rects, blobs whatever) that "detect" returns have a tendency to jitter randomly from frame to frame even on a unchanging image.  I don't understand how this can be.  They also tend to change size quite radically which is more understandable. My fix for this is to interpolate between the detected face positions of this frame and last, that smooths it out a lot.  I also interpolate between last face size and this face size.

So those fix the jittery problems.  Then i blend the new image frame with the old image frame.  This works but means it looks really slow; it's not slow it's just that i only blend a very small percentage (around 8%) of the new image with the old...

i will have the code out soon.
