Ghost face detector

Description of the "Ghost Face Detector" Application

The "Ghost Face Detector" is a unique application designed to explore the intriguing world of face tracking algorithms. By leveraging advanced real-time face detection technology, the app offers an engaging experience that might surprise even the most skeptical user.

Core Features

• Face Tracking: During camera operation, the app tracks a person's face in real-time.
• Camera Switching: Users can switch between front and rear cameras seamlessly.
• Video Recording: Record videos as you would with a standard camera, with the added option to include or exclude the face contour in the final footage.
• Photo Capture: Take photos with the option to include or exclude the face contour.
• Ghost Face Detection: Analyze captured videos or photos to detect ghostly face outlines.
• Sharing: Share your findings with friends through the standard "Share" service.
• Receiving Media: Receive and analyze videos and photos sent by friends using the app.

Pro Version Enhancements

In the Pro version, users gain access to:

• Detector Type Selection: Choose from three different types of detectors:
  • Basic face detector
  • Second face detector from the Dlib library
  • Cat detector
• Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune the sensitivity of all detector types.
• Contour Output Settings: Customize how the face contour is displayed.

Technology Behind the App

The "Ghost Face Detector" utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as Unity3D, openCV, cascade Haar, and Dlib. These technologies are widely employed in popular applications that overlay masks on faces.

Limitations

Please note that the app has certain limitations:

• The algorithm primarily detects faces looking directly at the camera or at angles up to 20°. Faces not facing the camera may not be detected.
• The algorithm consumes significant CPU resources, which may slow down performance when processing large, externally recorded videos and photos. However, it still analyzes every frame, albeit at a slower pace.

Final Thoughts

This application is more of an experiment and a fun exploration rather than a scientific tool. It's designed to spark curiosity and perhaps even a bit of humor. While some results might seem coincidental, the experience is truly unique.
