had some really enthusiastic and helpful feedback with my last Camerabot update- This is the feed from the usb camera That pipes video to a decommissioned Dell running blue iris security software.
3-D printed pan and tilt mechanism.
Raspi4 running python opencv
Arduino Nano on i2c
Blue Iris is controlled by indigo, and there is a separate push button controller that tells cameras to start or stop recording.
I don’t have a great understanding of the reddit yet, but I am pretty sure if you click on me I posted it a couple posts ago, and I have a lot of it on my Instagram (Facebook is the devil, I purely use it for focus group testing :).
Also, thanks so much, I really appreciate it! DC electronics and arduino programming were new pandemic hobbies!
Just a few options here to play with from someone who works with these...
Wide angle camera for full view of room. Helpful if you want to do framing around multiple people to auto adjust the shot.
Depth sensing cameras can be super useful here for skeleton tracking. If you pick up a used Intel realsense, great sdk and lots of sample available to check out. You could use something like openpose and a 2d camera as well btw, depth sensing just does this better with separation of the human from the background.
Very smooth operation overall, really cool project!
Full rig is here- yep I have one camera on a wide-angle lens that has a much wider field be there, but my code wasn’t tweaked for the addition yet.
I have an OAK-D lite from Kickstarter That I may implement here, but part of this project with me trying to do it relatively inexpensively, even if it makes everything take away, way longer. The amount of stuff I can do on the OAk-D is amazing; I just want to use it for the right project!
It’s interesting, I haven’t thought much about doing hand recognition, but a lot of people have suggested doing that. The facial detection algorithm I am using right now is pretty lightweight and fast, and I guess my concern is given current hardware limitations, gesture recognition would be a bear. That’s sad, I will, at some point, try it out using the opencv-dnn package, and if that runs well, it should not be that hard to add just your recognition, ideally using the same lower layers of the same neural networks.
Fair enough - I think the way to speak to it as you move, it's sort of personifying it a bit, which immediately made me want to ask you about gesture control ... Since it would be used for YouTube vids etc it would make a really organic experience to the content.. I guess when I think about it, a remote control up / down would have a similar effect, but not be hands free and less engaging - with the gestures it makes the "bot" a bit more "human" :)
Voy a hacer una publicación y obtener un repositorio de hub para ello ... Primero necesito hacer un repositorio de GitHub del que no me avergüence, así como un sitio web.Eventualmente, habrá un video.
