face detection as a trigger
hello,
I’m a student just starting with Jitter, and i desperately need some help.. I’m trying to use face detection to then trigger an effect (i.e distortion of users image, like data moshing or something similar), then when the user moves away from the camera the effect stops and returns to normal. It’s probably incredibly simple but have been confused for a few days on getting the idea together, I have come across patches for both face detection and for creating numerous effects with live video but am having problems connecting the two – any help or advice would be great….
Thanks
Nick
Check out the [cv.jit.faces] object for face detection/tracking. Here’s a simple patch using it:
In this example I use [jit.streak], but any effect could be used. The main idea is that [cv.jit.faces] is queried for the number of faces in an image and then that data is used to decide how much of/ if an effect is applied to the original image. Hope this helps!

Brilliant! Thank you so much for your help – this gets me started, and just what I was looking for. Perfect.
Nick.
Sorry for bumping this but how do I run the patcher described above?
I want to do something similar. I would like to have Jitter render a black screen over a movieclip when there is no face detected but I have no idea how to achieve this with Max/msp/Jitter. However, it is the only software package that is able to run opencv on my cam.
Hello, could someone please explain this to me?
Please,someone?
I just want to see the example of above or be provided with a direction on how I can turn down the brightness of a movie clip when no face is detected.
The patcher does not seem to work (error 9505) but thank you so much for the link!
works fine here. did you make sure you copied everything including
