For this homework, we were tasked to try to recreate Christian Muller’s Electronic Mirror. The idea is such that the camera is able to detect a face. When one is further away from the camera, the image is clear, yet as one’s face approaches the camera (i.e. facial features seem to be getting bigger), the video playback display darkens to black.
LPD’s
Mine.
Changes made:
1. Inverted the video playback on screen so that when I raise my right hand, my hand on the right side of the screen shows up.
Learnt that: RGB2luma helps convert the image to black and white, so it makes it less complicated (colour is complicated, whereas BnW is more simplified). This helps the computer detect the features of a face (darker coloured eye areas and mouth area).
LPD’s.
Mine.
Changes made:
1. In line object, changed the second number of ’50’ to ‘100’.
2. In scale object. changed the second number ‘12345’ to ‘40000’. The latter number was chosen as when I put my face closer to the screen, the rough number registered is around 40000. By doing so, it ensures that when the input is 40000, the screen will change to black.
Challenges:
Figuring out the vocabulary/buzzwords. What each special vocab means or what it can do.
