Facial recognition with openCV4 controlling monster avatar

**** Getting Started ****

This project should run on Windows, Mac, or Linux since it uses openCV and a cross platform GUI. Install the required packages with pip, but if you you are on linux... installing the wxpython files is not fun since the wheels are not well supported. See the following website for help: https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/index.html

If you are using linux on MAC, then see below for help installing drivers for your webcam before you do a test with openCV.


**** Installation With Pip ****

Run the following command to install all the requirements from the doc. This sometimes works... you can also just install everything in the requirements document and you may need different versions based on your setup. Good luck.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt


**** Instructions for setting up webcam on MAC ****

sudo apt-get install git sudo apt-get install curl xzcat cpio git clone https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd-firmware.git cd facetimehd-firmware make sudo make install cd .. sudo apt-get install kmod libssl-dev checkinstall git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git cd bcwc_pcie make sudo make install sudo depmod sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci sudo modprobe facetimehd sudo nano /etc/modules add line "facetimehd", write out (ctl+o) & close

NOTE: Most of those steps will need to be repeated every time the kernel is upgraded.
