Inspiration

Facial recognition is nice, but often can be inaccurate for different faces. Would like to accurately be able to find the features of a face with rapid relocation.

What it does

Finds your face, decides who you are, and can overlay images on your face.

How I built it

A little bit of machine learning, some numpy, scipy, opencv, and a bunch of secret sauce.

Challenges I ran into

Training the machine learning algorythm. Finding nice samples of faces that covered a broad spectrum of face types was a challenge. (I used the organizers faces)!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Making myself look like batman. Keeping a history of the different locations the features have been found in order to stabilize the tracking software as changes should happen gradually, as opposed to drastic changes.

What I learned

How to integrate many different open source libraries to optimize

What's next for Domecast

Mars, maybe relocating animals. Deciding if an animal has previously been found. I like to be friends with animals.
