Thank for the reply. The arduino code I meant was to handle the serial output to move the servos. So lets say I have arduino with servos on pin 8 ,9. How do I sucessfully read in the data and do tracking thanks.

Re. Tony – no Arduino code, the face detection is terribly CPU intensive and needs a laptop.
Re. bhola – sorry, no idea

i m typing this -
cd OpenCV-2.1.0/samples/python
python facedetect.py 0 # pass in id for webcam – 0 is first webcam

but it not open facedetection window. says invalid syntex

Do you have arduino code any where that would enable the same thing in replacement of the servo controller.

@Michael S – those should be 0s (zeros) instead of o’s. Also, you are missing the rest of the command “…is first webcam.”

Here is the full command from the post above:
python facedetect.py 0 # pass in id for webcam – 0 is first webcam

Hope this helps.

hi, when i try the command: python facedetect.py 0 # pass in id for webcam – 0

i get this error:
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “facedetect.py”, line 10, in
import cv2.cv as cv

i’ve tried to search for a solution but i cant find any.

i have no idea what to do

OpenCV-2.4.0 and Pyserial-2.6

Hi Ian,

can you make this a stand-alone without the PC?

thanks for the answer,
Luka

Hi Ian,

Thanks for sharing this project. In addition to your code I have written my version of the Arduino code to go with this. It can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/bumphead/

I’m no coder or developer and just an amateur at writing any type of code so it may not be the most efficient application out there, but I’ve played with it for a couple of hours and seems to work very well with your Python code.

Please feel free to share.

Regards

Conrad
