Face recognition and pixelation
Hello,
I am working on a project where I need a face recognition and to put a pixelation effect on these faces from a live stream of an IP camera.
I managed to create the face recognition and the pixelation effect but I can't manage to blend the two together. I need it to recognize only one face at a time.
Also I don't understand how to have a different input than my webcam.
Sorry if these are dumb questions, I am a total noob and just getting started with Max.
If you can help me it would really mean a lot to me, thank you.
Bear in mind I don't know pretty much anything about this software so try to not take anything for granted because I probably don't know what you are talking about, sorry.
Have a nice day!
use jit.submatrix for isolating a portion of the image-- but not sure how to recombine:
you should use opengl for the compositing, you can then make use of the edgeblend shader if you want to fade the edges. use a jit.gl.videoplane, and adjust the scaling and position based on the size of the face matrix (using scale objects where needed).
