Hello,

I wrote a simple little program that tracks a face using OpenCV and puts a mask image over the face. Basically it's the same as an OpenCV tutorial I just use PImage to put an image over the face instead of rect(); like in the library example.

However, in my program, oddly enough, the .png image that I use fades away after about 20 seconds. Anyone know what's going on here? Here is the code and thanks so much for any help!

1. import hypermedia.video.*;
   import java.awt.Rectangle;
   
   PImage mymask;
   OpenCV opencv;
   
   void setup() {
   
       size( 640, 480, P2D );
       mymask = loadImage("mymask.png");
   
       opencv = new OpenCV(this);
       opencv.capture( width, height );
       opencv.cascade( OpenCV.CASCADE_FRONTALFACE_ALT);    // load the FRONTALFACE description file
   }
   
   void draw() {
       opencv.read();
       image( opencv.image(), 0, 0 );
      
       // detect anything ressembling a FRONTALFACE
       Rectangle[] faces = opencv.detect();
      
       // draw detected face area(s)
     
   //image(mymask,20,50); //even if i put the image here with the resize it still fades away
   //mymask.resize(0,100);
   
   
       for( int i=0; i<faces.length; i++ ) {
          //rect( faces[i].x, faces[i].y, faces[i].width, faces[i].height );
           mymask.resize(faces[i].width, faces[i].height);
           image(mymask, faces[i].x, faces[i].y);
         
       }
      
   }
