• Feb (or onwards) submission's work will be done in various root dir folders.

Project Direction

• Feel that the strategies laid out in the original EPQ needs to be re-evaluated.

• New strategies we can take up:

  • Use some type of baseline (mediapipe, or mediapipe face mesh) -> use that to compute metrics like pitch etc.
  • Feature extractor -> classification head

• Fix current strategy with:

  • Replacing things like “30 px” with T * face_height or delta/face_height.
  • Adding persistence in some way, for example alert only if bad posture for k consecutive seconds/frames.

  Then we can compute and compare metrics like accuracy, precision and recall, runtime (fps/cpu usage?), and how robust it is in terms of handling changes to lighting, distance or the camera angle.
