How We Act Together (Tracker)

Computer vision and rendering of faces for a crowdsourced durational performance.

bugs

  • if the face is too small, just restart.
  • has big issues with side and beneath lighting, could we highpass or something?
  • sometimes finds faces in evenly lit areas.
  • don't show the new face immediately, wait a moment to be sure it's good
  • it's possible for runnerBox to be undefined inside the runnerFunction loop, causing a crash (temporarily)

general

  • don't draw irises all the way to eyelids
  • use better system for getting scale and orientation
  • need to test on different resolution webcams, and different framerates

todo

  • recognize scream audio
  • recognize eyes shut: more difficult than expected...
  • additional visual indicator of gesture being "activated"

acts

greet

  • advanced version would do autocorrelation on low resolution images?
  • or the difference image of the last two difference images (second derivative)
  • remove the average motion from anything (global motion) like body moving, laptop moving...
  • autocorrelation works for high framerates, but we really need to just look for noisiness. this could be described as: rmse of high pass signal, or recent sum of squared derivative.
  • good to see each of these metrics across all samples.

scream

  • use audio input from p5 to detect loud noises
  • plus mouth open from clmtrackr

eye contact

  • frame differencing, very still motion
  • advanced version: object detect eyes, stabilize, check there is no motion in eye region
  • also possibility: use clmtrackr to get eye position and watch for no rapid changes

nod

  • motion works pretty well, could track the bounding box of face for better motion
  • might be a better detector for watching for sine-wave shapes: e.g., fit to zero crossings, then fit to peaks and valleys, look for deviation from sine wave...
