Project Overview

This project's main goal is to be able to create an application on the Android mobile platform that will use face detection to track the head movements of the user. The face detection is used with OpenCV and Androids Face Detection API, and with these algorithms, we are able to locate the face with the device's front facing camera. After face detection has been implemented, we would need to be able to track the faces X,Y and Z coordinates (relative to the camera). With this data, we would be able to create a 3D model view where the user would be able to look around the object by simply moving their head.


Significant Updates

  • April 30 Gained Control of the Camera

TO DO

Known Bugs/Issues

  • Android API
    • Only works for Ice Cream Sandwich [API 14.0 4.0] and up


Google API Faults <h2> Face Detection was added into the API after Ice Cream Sandwich [API 14.0 4.0] This limits the amount of devices that can use the API. There is also a challenge for hardware of devices too. Not all devices support the API.
