Tongue Tip Detection and Tracking

This project is for detection of tip of tongue in real time and video, and track it. Libraries used in this project are: Python, OpenCV, dlib, numpy, matplotlib

Real time Demo:

How to run?

For Real time detection:

1. The default camera used is in-build webcam (0), if you re using usb webcam (1) set the camera number on line 12 in detect-tongue-tip-real-time.py
2. Execute python detect-tongue-tip-real-time.py; press q to escape anytime

For existing video

1. Get a video you want to input.
2. Change line 12 in detect-tongue-with-blob-tracking-revised.py to use your video
3. Just execute python3 detect-tongue-with-blob-tracking-revised.py

Overview of the logic:

1. Divide the video into frames
2. Fetch mouth part
3. Detect blob keypoints in the mouth part using OpenCV
4. Based on detections in step 2 and 3, an algorithm is implemented in python, numpy around the height of inner mouth, width of mouth, blob keypoint to detect the tip of tongue
