facefollower

Simple face feature detection using haarcascade & dlib - follower using arduino and 3d printed parts.

Demo

Scope

• It can be used for camera stablization by adjusting few calculation like direction of facemovement and moving accordingly to keep face at center.

• Can be combined with openface to follow a specific person

• Note : This is not a performance oriented project, it is just experiment of idea, it has been done before.

Hardware

• 1x Arduino
• 2x Servo

Get any xy model with a mount, connect X-Axis to GPIO9 and Y-Axis to GPIO8, upload arduino.ino to your board.

Software

• Install OpenCV2, dlib manually.
• Install library for serial communication using pip install pyserial
• Execute facedetector and follower using python src/cv.py
