Mouth Tracking - experience

advanced
#1

Hi @ all,

i would like to experiment with mouth-tracking and close-up videos. Before i start, i would like to know if there are known projects.

I found here something, but some links are dead:
http://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/ofxcvhaarfinder:-opencv-faceeyemouth-tracking/2006/0

Would be nice, if you could share your knowledge.

thank you very much.

Hi. If I can recall correctly, I saw a project somewhere where face parts get exchanged. I think those parts were mouth parts of different people. I haven’t looked into the code at all but you can derive some idea how they track mouths or least how they substitute parts at the mouth level.

Oh… here it is:

check out kylemcdonald’s ofcFaceTracker.
https://github.com/kylemcdonald/ofxFaceTracker

there’s all you need and works much better than just using haar classifiers .
good luck
