Overview

The objective is to help people take pictures and videotape by themselves without using the click of mouse or pressing any keyboard button, so this can give people convenience and much freedom. Three different colors of rectangular sheets were used for changing the modes. For example, when a blue rectangular is shown to the camera, the program enables the web camera to take a picture immediately. When a green rectangular is shown, the program starts to detect people’s faces, so the center of camera view can move along with the people's face. Also, when a red rectangular is shown, the program stops detecting faces. For this project, we applied Adaboost algorithm using Haar-like features to detect human faces, and we toiled away to create an effective algorithm to detect colored rectangular even when a rectangular tilt up to 30 degrees or so, regardless of the size of it.
