You Can't Hide from the Face Tracking Nerf with AI

  • In this video I build a predator style shoulder mounted nerf blaster that uses artificial intelligence to track a face, person or other object in the TFlite model. It uses a pan tilt mechanism and wireless relay as well. The electronics are based on a raspberry pi with a Coral USB Edge TPU accelerator.

      Obviously success was intermittent and I dont know how to program well enough to fix it...but it got me far enough to have fun.

      Just a nerdy point, this is more sophisticated than the UA571-C sentry gun. The UA571-C is only a motion detection system.

    It kinda has trailing/ "catch up" track.
    If it had predictive "leading" track, that would be poggers and much faster at acquisitions and reacquisition

    I'm thinking that if this were set to track and fire at "hot dogs" it detects in a room that it has ascertained your teenage daughter is in. It may be too taxing to identify every teenage boy she knows and have it fire at any"hot dog" speed approximately 1 meter below said face (or horizontal to etc). Just thinking outside the box for remote mounted sentries etc. You could probably get away with just the deterrent presented by pointing a 3 beam laser at the object. Lmao

    A more suitable blaster would be a old speedswarm/powerbelle as it only has one electronic trigger that fires the blaster in auto, which means no servo(?) to actuate the semi auto trigger. It actually has been a blaster that people in the nerf community has made both shoulder mounted cannons and trap blasters out of. I'd recommend checking the channel Captain Xavier here on UA-cam.

    I can program in several languages, including Python and some C++, and I'm familiar with Arduino and Raspberry Pi; I've just always been too poor to afford most of the stuff. So, if you ever want to team up, let me know where to get at you.

    How do you convert the face xy to pan/tilt?

    • @EngineeringAfterHours
      @EngineeringAfterHours  2 роки тому

      The software knows the centroid of the bounding box for the face and the center of the frame. It then sends commands from there to the servos.

      Here's the tutorial that I mention in the video...should explain it all. It's using a PID loop and simple servo commands to center it up.
