Personal Virtual Assistant (SJ) implemented using python-based OpenAI, Rev_AI & PyTtSX3.

Today, I will discuss our Virtual personal assistant (SJ) with a combination of AI-driven APIs, which is now operational in Python. We will use the three most potent APIs using OpenAI, Rev-AI & Pyttsx3. Why don’t we see the demo first?

Great! Let us understand we can leverage this by writing a tiny snippet using this new AI model.

Architecture:

Let us understand the flow of events –

The application first invokes the API to capture the audio spoken through the audio device & then translate that into text, which is later parsed & shared as input by the openai for the response of the posted queries. Once, OpenAI shares the response, the python-based engine will take the response & using pyttsx3 to convert them to voice.


Python Packages:

Following are the python packages that are necessary to develop this brilliant use case –

pip install openai==0.25.0
pip install PyAudio==0.2.13
pip install playsound==1.3.0
pip install pandas==1.5.2
pip install rev-ai==2.17.1
pip install six==1.16.0
pip install websocket-client==0.59.0

CODE:

Let us now understand the code. For this use case, we will only discuss three python scripts. However, we need more than these three. However, we have already discussed them in some of the early posts. Hence, we will skip them here.

###############################################
import pyttsx3
from clsConfigClient import clsConfigClient as cf
class clsText2Voice:
def __init__(self):
self.speedSpeech = cf.conf['speedSpeech']
self.speedPitch = cf.conf['speedPitch']
def getAudio(self, srcString):
try:
speedSpeech = self.speedSpeech
speedPitch = self.speedPitch
engine = pyttsx3.init()
# Set the speed of the speech (in words per minute)
engine.setProperty('rate', speedSpeech)
# Set the pitch of the speech (1.0 is default)
engine.setProperty('pitch', speedPitch)
# Converting to MP3
engine.say(srcString)
engine.runAndWait()
return 0
except Exception as e:
x = str(e)
print('Error: ', x)
return 1

Some of the important snippet will be as follows –

def getAudio(self, srcString):
    try:
        speedSpeech = self.speedSpeech
        speedPitch = self.speedPitch
        
        engine = pyttsx3.init()

        # Set the speed of the speech (in words per minute)
        engine.setProperty('rate', speedSpeech)

        # Set the pitch of the speech (1.0 is default)
        engine.setProperty('pitch', speedPitch)

        # Converting to MP3
        engine.say(srcString)
        engine.runAndWait()

        return 0

The code is a function that generates speech audio from a given string using the Pyttsx3 library in Python. The function sets the speech rate and pitch using the “speedSpeech” and “speedPitch” properties of the calling object, initializes the Pyttsx3 engine, sets the speech rate and pitch on the engine, speaks the given string, and waits for the speech to finish. The function returns 0 after the speech is finished.

          print(x)

          print('66'*60)

          return x

The code is a function that uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT model to generate text based on a given prompt text. The function takes the text to be completed as input and uses an API key stored in the OPENAI_API_KEY property of the calling object to request OpenAI’s API. If the request is successful, the function returns the top completion generated by the model, as stored in the text field of the first item in the choices list of the API response.

The function includes error handling for IOError and Exception. If an IOError occurs, the function checks if the error number is errno.EPIPE and, if it is, returns without doing anything. If an Exception occurs, the function converts the error message to a string and prints it, then returns the string.

The code is a python function called processVoice() that processes a user’s voice input using the Rev.AI API. The function takes in one argument, “var,” which is not used in the code.

  1. Let us understand the code –
    • First, the function sets several variables, including the Rev.AI API access token, the sample rate, and the chunk size for the audio input.
    • Then, it creates a media configuration object for raw microphone input.
    • A RevAiStreamingClient object is created using the access token and the media configuration.
    • The code opens the microphone input using a statement and the microphone stream class.
    • Within the statement, the code starts the server connection and a thread that sends microphone audio to the server.
    • The code then iterates through the responses from the server, normalizing the JSON response and storing the values in a pandas data-frame.
    • If the “confidence” column exists in the data-frame, the code joins all the values to form the final text and raises an exception.
      • If there is an exception, the WebSocket connection is ended, and the final text is returned.
      • If there is any error, the WebSocket connection is also ended, and an empty string or the error message is returned.

This code is a part of a context manager class (clsMicrophoneStream) and implements the __enter__ method of the class. The method sets up a PyAudio object and opens an audio stream using the PyAudio object. The audio stream is configured to have the following properties:

  • Format: 16-bit integer (paInt16)
  • Channels: 1 (mono)
  • Rate: The rate specified in the instance of the ms.clsMicrophoneStream class.
  • Input: True, meaning the audio stream is an input stream, not an output stream.
  • Frames per buffer: The chunk specified in the instance of the ms.clsMicrophoneStream class.
  • Stream callback: The method self._fill_buffer will be called when the buffer needs more data.

The self.closed attribute is set to False to indicate that the stream is open. The method returns the instance of the class (self).

def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
    self._audio_stream.stop_stream()
    self._audio_stream.close()

    self._buff.put(None)
    self._audio_interface.terminate()

The exit method implements the “exit” behavior of a Python context manager. It is automatically called when the context manager is exited using the statement.

The method stops and closes the audio stream, sets the closed attribute to True, and places None in the buffer. The terminate method of the PyAudio interface is then called to release any resources used by the audio stream.

    self._buff.put(in_data)
    return None, pyaudio.paContinue

The _fill_buffer method is a callback function that runs asynchronously to continuously collect data from the audio stream and add it to the buffer.

The _fill_buffer method takes four arguments:

  • in_data: the raw audio data collected from the audio stream.
  • frame_count: the number of frames of audio data that was collected.
  • time_info: information about the timing of the audio data.
  • status_flags: flags that indicate the status of the audio stream.

The method adds the collected in_data to the buffer using the put method of the buffer object. It returns a tuple of None and pyaudio.paContinue to indicate that the audio stream should continue.

def generator(self):
    while not self.closed:
        ######################################################################
        ### Use a blocking get() to ensure there's at least one chunk of  ####
        ### data, and stop iteration if the chunk is None, indicating the ####
        ### end of the audio stream.                                      ####
        ######################################################################

        chunk = self._buff.get()
        if chunk is None:
            return
        data = [chunk]

        ##########################################################
        ### Now consume whatever other data's still buffered. ####
        ##########################################################

        while True:
            try:
                chunk = self._buff.get(block=False)
                if chunk is None:
                    return
                data.append(chunk)
            except queue.Empty:
                break

        yield b''.join(data)

The logic of the code “def generator(self):” is as follows:

The function generator is an infinite loop that runs until self.closed is True. Within the loop, it uses a blocking get() method of the buffer object (self._buff) to retrieve a chunk of audio data. If the retrieved chunk is None, it means the end of the audio stream has been reached, and the function returns.

If the retrieved chunk is not None, it appends it to the data list. The function then enters another inner loop that continues to retrieve chunks from the buffer using the non-blocking get() method until there are no more chunks left. Finally, the function yields the concatenated chunks of data as a single-byte string.

And, the key snippet from the above script –

                else:

                    print('Inside: ', finalText)
                    resVal = x2.findFromSJ(finalText)

                    print('ChatGPT Response:: ')
                    print(resVal)

                    resAud = x3.getAudio(resVal)
                    spFlag = False

        print('SJ Voice Assistant exited successfully!')
        print('*'*120)

    except Exception as e:
        x = str(e)
        print('Error: ', x)

The code is a Python script that implements a voice-based chatbot (likely named “SJ Voice Assistant”). The code performs the following operations:

  1. Initialize the string “exitComment” to “THANKS.” and set the “spFlag” to True.
  2. Start an infinite loop until a specific condition breaks the loop.
  3. In the loop, try to process the input voice with a function called “processVoice()” from an object “x4”. Store the result in “finalText.”
  4. Convert “finalText” to upper case, remove leading/trailing whitespaces, and store it in “val.” Print “Main Return” and “Exit Call” with their length.
  5. If “val” equals “exitComment,” break the loop. Suppose “finalText” is an empty string; set “spFlag” to True. Otherwise, perform further processing: a. Call the function “findFromSJ()” from an object “x2” with the input “finalText.” Store the result in “resVal.” b. Call the function “getAudio()” from an object “x3” with the input “resVal.” Store the result in “resAud.” Set “spFlag” to False.
  6. If an exception occurs, catch it and pass (do nothing).
  7. Finally the application will exit by displaying the following text – “SJ Voice Assistant exited successfully!”
  8. If an exception occurs outside the loop, catch it and print the error message.

So, finally, we’ve done it.

I know that this post is relatively bigger than my earlier post. But, I think, you can get all the details once you go through it.

You will get the complete codebase in the following GitHub link.

I’ll bring some more exciting topics in the coming days from the Python verse. Please share & subscribe to my post & let me know your feedback.

Till then, Happy Avenging! 🙂

Note: All the data & scenarios posted here are representational data & scenarios & available over the internet & for educational purposes only. Some of the images (except my photo) we’ve used are available over the net. We don’t claim ownership of these images. There is always room for improvement & especially in the prediction quality.

Realtime reading from a Streaming using Computer Vision

This week we’re going to extend one of our earlier posts & trying to read an entire text from streaming using computer vision. If you want to view the previous post, please click the following link.

But, before we proceed, why don’t we view the demo first?

Demo

Architecture:

Let us understand the architecture flow –

Architecture flow

The above diagram shows that the application, which uses the Open-CV, analyzes individual frames from the source & extracts the complete text within the video & displays it on top of the target screen besides prints the same in the console.

Python Packages:

pip install imutils==0.5.4
pip install matplotlib==3.5.2
pip install numpy==1.21.6
pip install opencv-contrib-python==4.6.0.66
pip install opencv-contrib-python-headless==4.6.0.66

pip install pandas==1.3.5
pip install Pillow==9.1.1
pip install pytesseract==0.3.9
pip install python-dateutil==2.8.2

CODE:

Let us now understand the code. For this use case, we will only discuss three python scripts. However, we need more than these three. However, we have already discussed them in some of the early posts. Hence, we will skip them here.

Please find the key snippet from the above script –

# Two output layer names for the text detector model

lNames = cf.conf['LAYER_DET']

# Tesseract OCR text param values

strVal = "-l " + str(cf.conf['LANG']) + " --oem " + str(cf.conf['OEM_VAL']) + " --psm " + str(cf.conf['PSM_VAL']) + ""
config = (strVal)

The first line contains the two output layers’ names for the text detector model. Among them, the first one indicates the outcome possibilities & the second one use to derive the bounding box coordinates of the predicted text.

The second line contains various options for the tesseract APIs. You need to understand the opportunities in detail to make them work. These are the essential options for our use case –

  • Language – The intended language, for example, English, Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, etc.
  • OEM flag – In this case, the application will use 4 to indicate LSTM neural net model for OCR.
  • OEM Value – In this case, the selected value is 7, indicating that the application treats the ROI as a single line of text.

For more details, please refer to the config file.

print("[INFO] Loading Text Detector...")
net = cv2.dnn.readNet(modelPath)

The above lines bring the already created model & load it to memory for evaluation.

# Setting new width and height and then determine the ratio in change
# for both the width and height
(newW, newH) = (wt, ht)
rW = origW / float(newW)
rH = origH / float(newH)

# Resize the frame and grab the new frame dimensions
frame = cv2.resize(frame, (newW, newH))
(H, W) = frame.shape[:2]

# Construct a blob from the frame and then perform a forward pass of
# the model to obtain the two output layer sets
blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(frame, 1.0, (W, H), sParam, swapRB=True, crop=False)
net.setInput(blob)
(confScore, imgGeo) = net.forward(lNames)

# Decode the predictions, then apply non-maxima suppression to
# suppress weak, overlapping bounding boxes
(rects, confidences) = self.predictText(confScore, imgGeo)
boxes = non_max_suppression(np.array(rects), probs=confidences)

The above lines are more of preparing individual frames to get the bounding box by resizing the height & width followed by a forward pass of the model to obtain two output layer sets. And then apply the non-maxima suppression to remove the weak, overlapping bounding box by interpreting the prediction. In short, this will identify the potential text region & put the bounding box surrounding it.

# Initialize the list of results
res = []

# Getting BoundingBox boundaries
res = self.findBoundBox(boxes, res, rW, rH, orig, origW, origH, pad)

The above function will create the bounding box surrounding the predicted text regions. Also, we will capture the expected text inside the result variable.

for (spX, spY, epX, epY) in boxes:
  # Scale the bounding box coordinates based on the respective
  # ratios
  spX = int(spX * rW)
  spY = int(spY * rH)
  epX = int(epX * rW)
  epY = int(epY * rH)

  # To obtain a better OCR of the text we can potentially
  # apply a bit of padding surrounding the bounding box.
  # And, computing the deltas in both the x and y directions
  dX = int((epX - spX) * pad)
  dY = int((epY - spY) * pad)

  # Apply padding to each side of the bounding box, respectively
  spX = max(0, spX - dX)
  spY = max(0, spY - dY)
  epX = min(origW, epX + (dX * 2))
  epY = min(origH, epY + (dY * 2))

  # Extract the actual padded ROI
  roi = orig[spY:epY, spX:epX]

Now, the application will scale the bounding boxes based on the previously computed ratio for actual text recognition. In this process, the application also padded the bounding boxes & then extracted the padded region of interest.

# Choose the proper OCR Config
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(roi, config=config)

# Add the bounding box coordinates and OCR'd text to the list
# of results
res.append(((spX, spY, epX, epY), text))

Using OCR options, the application extracts the text within the video frame & adds that to the res list.

# Sort the results bounding box coordinates from top to bottom
res = sorted(res, key=lambda r:r[0][1])

It then sends a sorted output to the primary calling functions.

for ((spX, spY, epX, epY), text) in res:
  # Display the text OCR by using Tesseract APIs
  print("Reading Text::")
  print("=" *60)
  print(text)
  print("=" *60)

  # Removing the non-ASCII text so it can draw the text on the frame
  # using OpenCV, then draw the text and a bounding box surrounding
  # the text region of the input frame
  text = "".join([c if ord(c) < aRange else "" for c in text]).strip()
  output = orig.copy()

  cv2.rectangle(output, (spX, spY), (epX, epY), drawTag, 2)
  cv2.putText(output, text, (spX, spY - 20), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1.2, drawTag, 3)

  # Show the output frame
  cv2.imshow(title, output)

Finally, it fetches the potential text region along with the text & then prints on top of the source video. Also, it removed some non-printable characters during this time to avoid any cryptic texts.

Please find the key snippet –

# Instantiating all the main class

x1 = rtfs.clsReadingTextFromStream()

# Execute all the pass
r1 = x1.processStream(debugInd, var)

if (r1 == 0):
    print('Successfully read text from the Live Stream!')
else:
    print('Failed to read text from the Live Stream!')

The above lines instantiate the main calling class & then invoke the function to get the desired extracted text from the live streaming video if that is successful.

Real-time augmented reality (AR) using Python-based Computer Vision

Hi Team,

Today, I’m going to discuss another Computer Vision installment. I’ll discuss how to implement Augmented Reality using Open-CV Computer Vision with full audio. We will be using part of a Bengali OTT Series called “Feludar Goendagiri” entirely for educational purposes & also as a tribute to the great legendary director, late Satyajit Roy. To know more about him, please click the following link.

Why don’t we see the demo first before jumping into the technical details?


Demo

Architecture:

Let us understand the architecture –

Process Flow

The above diagram shows that the application, which uses the Open-CV, analyzes individual frames from the source & blends that with the video trailer. Finally, it creates another video by correctly mixing the source audio.

Python Packages:

Following are the python packages that are necessary to develop this brilliant use case –

pip install opencv-python
pip install pygame

CODE:

Let us now understand the code. For this use case, we will only discuss three python scripts. However, we need more than these three. However, we have already discussed them in some of the early posts. Hence, we will skip them here.

Please find the key snippet from the above script –

(imgH, imgW) = frame.shape[:2]
(srcH, srcW) = source.shape[:2]

# Detect Aruco markers in the input frame
(corners, ids, rejected) = cv2.aruco.detectMarkers(frame, arucoDict, parameters=arucoParams)

Identifying the Aruco markers are key here. The above lines help the program detect all four corners.

However, let us discuss more on the Aruco markers & strategies that I’ve used for several different surfaces.

As you can see, the right-hand side Aruco marker is tiny compared to the left one. Hence, that one will be ideal for a curve surface like Coffee Mug, Bottle rather than a flat surface.

Also, we’ve demonstrated the zoom capability with the smaller Aruco marker that will Augment almost double the original surface area.

Let us understand why we need that; as you know, any spherical surface like a bottle is round-shaped. Hence, detecting relatively more significant Aruco markers in four corners will be difficult for any camera to identify.

Hence, we need a process where close four corners can be extrapolated mathematically to relatively larger projected areas easily detectable by any WebCAM.

Let’s observe the following figure –

Simulated Extrapolated corners

As you can see that the original position of the four corners is represented using the following points, i.e., (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) & (x4, y4).

And these positions are very close to each other. Hence, it will be easier for the camera to detect all the points (like a plain surface) without many retries.

And later, you can add specific values of x & y to them to get the derived four corners as shown in the above figures through the following points, i.e. (x1.1, y1.1), (x2.1, y2.1), (x3.1, y3.1) & (x4.1, y4.1).

# Loop over the IDs of the ArUco markers in Top-Left, Top-Right,
# Bottom-Right, and Bottom-Left order
for i in cornerIDs:
  # Grab the index of the corner with the current ID
  j = np.squeeze(np.where(ids == i))

  # If we receive an empty list instead of an integer index,
  # then we could not find the marker with the current ID
  if j.size == 0:
    continue

  # Otherwise, append the corner (x, y)-coordinates to our list
  # of reference points
  corner = np.squeeze(corners[j])
  refPts.append(corner)

# Check to see if we failed to find the four ArUco markers
if len(refPts) != 4:
  # If we are allowed to use cached reference points, fall
  # back on them
  if useCache and CACHED_REF_PTS is not None:
    refPts = CACHED_REF_PTS

  # Otherwise, we cannot use the cache and/or there are no
  # previous cached reference points, so return early
  else:
    return None

# If we are allowed to use cached reference points, then update
# the cache with the current set
if useCache:
  CACHED_REF_PTS = refPts

# Unpack our Aruco reference points and use the reference points
# to define the Destination transform matrix, making sure the
# points are specified in Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Right, and
# Bottom-Left order
(refPtTL, refPtTR, refPtBR, refPtBL) = refPts
dstMat = [refPtTL[0], refPtTR[1], refPtBR[2], refPtBL[3]]
dstMat = np.array(dstMat)

In the above snippet, the application will scan through all the points & try to detect Aruco markers & then create a list of reference points, which will later be used to define the destination transformation matrix.

# For zoom option recalculating all the 4 points
refPtTL1_L_X = refPtTL[0][0]-TOP_LEFT_X
refPtTL1_L_Y = refPtTL[0][1]-TOP_LEFT_Y

refPtTL1.append((refPtTL1_L_X,refPtTL1_L_Y))

refPtTL1_R_X = refPtTL[1][0]+TOP_RIGHT_X
refPtTL1_R_Y = refPtTL[1][1]+TOP_RIGHT_Y

refPtTL1.append((refPtTL1_R_X,refPtTL1_R_Y))

refPtTD1_L_X = refPtTL[2][0]+BOTTOM_RIGHT_X
refPtTD1_L_Y = refPtTL[2][1]+BOTTOM_RIGHT_Y

refPtTL1.append((refPtTD1_L_X,refPtTD1_L_Y))

refPtTD1_R_X = refPtTL[3][0]-BOTTOM_LEFT_X
refPtTD1_R_Y = refPtTL[3][1]+BOTTOM_LEFT_Y

refPtTL1.append((refPtTD1_R_X,refPtTD1_R_Y))

dstMatMod = [refPtTL1[0], refPtTL1[1], refPtTL1[2], refPtTL1[3]]
dstMatMod = np.array(dstMatMod)

The above snippets calculate the revised points for the zoom-out capabilities as discussed in one of the earlier figures.

# Define the transform matrix for the *source* image in Top-Left,
# Top-Right, Bottom-Right, and Bottom-Left order
srcMat = np.array([[0, 0], [srcW, 0], [srcW, srcH], [0, srcH]])

The above snippet will create a transformation matrix for the video trailer.

# Compute the homography matrix and then warp the source image to
# the destination based on the homography depending upon the
# zoom flag
if zoomFlag == 1:
  (H, _) = cv2.findHomography(srcMat, dstMat)
else:
  (H, _) = cv2.findHomography(srcMat, dstMatMod)

warped = cv2.warpPerspective(source, H, (imgW, imgH))

# Construct a mask for the source image now that the perspective
# warp has taken place (we'll need this mask to copy the source
# image into the destination)
mask = np.zeros((imgH, imgW), dtype="uint8")
if zoomFlag == 1:
  cv2.fillConvexPoly(mask, dstMat.astype("int32"), (255, 255, 255), cv2.LINE_AA)
else:
  cv2.fillConvexPoly(mask, dstMatMod.astype("int32"), (255, 255, 255), cv2.LINE_AA)

# This optional step will give the source image a black
# border surrounding it when applied to the source image, you
# can apply a dilation operation
rect = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (3, 3))
mask = cv2.dilate(mask, rect, iterations=2)

# Create a three channel version of the mask by stacking it
# depth-wise, such that we can copy the warped source image
# into the input image
maskScaled = mask.copy() / 255.0
maskScaled = np.dstack([maskScaled] * 3)

# Copy the warped source image into the input image by
# (1) Multiplying the warped image and masked together,
# (2) Then multiplying the original input image with the
#     mask (giving more weight to the input where there
#     are not masked pixels), and
# (3) Adding the resulting multiplications together
warpedMultiplied = cv2.multiply(warped.astype("float"), maskScaled)
imageMultiplied = cv2.multiply(frame.astype(float), 1.0 - maskScaled)
output = cv2.add(warpedMultiplied, imageMultiplied)
output = output.astype("uint8")

Finally, depending upon the zoom flag, the application will create a warped image surrounded by an optionally black border.

The above function will initiate the pygame library to run the sound of the video file that has been extracted as part of a separate process.

The above function temporarily extracts the audio file from the source trailer video.

The above snippets read the frames from the video file after invoking the audio extraction. Then, it uses a Queue method to store all the video frames for better performance. And finally, it starts consuming the standard streaming video from the WebCAM to augment the trailer video on top of it.

t = threading.Thread(target=self.playAudio, args=(audioFile, audioLen, audioFreq, stopFlag,))
t.daemon = True

Now, the application has instantiated an orphan thread to spin off the audio play function. The reason is to void the performance & video frame frequency impact on top of it.

      # grab the next video file frame from our queue
      frame = warped
      source = Q.popleft()

      if flg == 0:

        t.start()
        flg = flg + 1

    # For speed/efficiency, we can use a queue to keep the next video
    # frame queue ready for us -- the trick is to ensure the queue is
    # always (or nearly full)
    if len(Q) != Q.maxlen:
      # Read the next frame from the video file stream
      (grabbed, nextFrame) = vf.read()

      # If the frame was read (meaning we are not at the end of the
      # video file stream), add the frame to our queue
      if grabbed:
        Q.append(nextFrame)

    # Show the output frame
    cv2.imshow(title, frame)
    time.sleep(videoFrame)

    # If the `q` key was pressed, break from the loop
    if cv2.waitKey(2) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
      stopFlag = True
      break

  except BreakLoop:
    raise BreakLoop
  except Exception as e:
    pass

  if (len(Q) == Q.maxlen):
    time.sleep(2)
    break

The final segment will call the getWarpImages function to get the Augmented image on top of the video. It also checks for the upcoming frames & whether the source video is finished or not. In case of the end, the application will initiate a break method to come out from the infinite WebCAM read. Also, there is a provision for manual exit by pressing the ‘Q’ from the MacBook keyboard.

# Performing cleanup at the end
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
vs.stop()

It is always advisable to close your camera & remove any temporarily available windows that are still left once the application finishes the process.

Real-time Zoom-In/Zoom-Out using Python-based Computer Vision

Hi Guys,

Today, I’ll be using another exciting installment of Computer Vision. The application will read the real-time human hand gesture to control WebCAM’s zoom-in or zoom-out capability.

Why don’t we see the demo first before jumping into the technical details?

Demo

Architecture:

Let us understand the architecture –

Broad Diagram

As one can see, the application reads individual frames from WebCAM & then map the human hand gestures with a media pipe. And finally, calculate the distance between particular pipe points projected on human hands.

Let’s take another depiction of the experiment to better understand the above statement.

Camera & Subject Position

Python Packages:

Following are the python packages that are necessary to develop this brilliant use case –

pip install mediapipe
pip install opencv-python

CODE:

Let us now understand the code. For this use case, we will only discuss three python scripts. However, we need more than these three. However, we have already discussed them in some of the early posts. Hence, we will skip them here.

Key snippets from the above scripts –

def zoomVideo(self, image, Iscale=1):
    try:
        scale=Iscale

        #get the webcam size
        height, width, channels = image.shape

        #prepare the crop
        centerX,centerY=int(height/2),int(width/2)
        radiusX,radiusY= int(scale*centerX),int(scale*centerY)

        minX,maxX=centerX-radiusX,centerX+radiusX
        minY,maxY=centerY-radiusY,centerY+radiusY

        cropped = image[minX:maxX, minY:maxY]
        resized_cropped = cv2.resize(cropped, (width, height))

        return resized_cropped

    except Exception as e:
        x = str(e)

        return image

The above method will zoom in & zoom out depending upon the scale value that the human hand gesture will receive.

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
detector = hms.clsHandMotionScanner(detectionCon=0.7)

The following lines will read the individual frames from webCAM. Instantiate another open-source customized class, which will find the hand’s position.

img = detector.findHands(img)
lmList = detector.findPosition(img, draw=False)

And captured the hand position depending upon the movements.

x1, y1 = lmList[4][1], lmList[4][2]
x2, y2 = lmList[8][1], lmList[8][2]

cx, cy = (x1+x2)//2, (y1+y2)//2

cv2.circle(img, (x1,y1), 15, (255,0,255), cv2.FILLED)
cv2.circle(img, (x2,y2), 15, (255,0,255), cv2.FILLED)

To understand the above lines, let’s look into the following diagram –

Source: Mediapipe

As one can see, the thumbs tip value is 4 & Index fingertip is 8. The application will mark these points with a solid circle.

lenVal = math.hypot(x2-x1, y2-y1)

The above line will calculate the distance between the thumbs tip & index fingertip.

# Camera Zoom Range is 0.01, 1

minVal = self.minVal
maxVal = self.maxVal

zRange = np.interp(lenVal, [50, 270], [minVal, maxVal])
zRangeBar = np.interp(lenVal, [50, 270], [400, 150])

In the above lines, the application will translate the values captured between the two fingertips & then translate them into a more meaningful camera zoom range from 0.01 to 1.

if lenVal < 50:
    cv2.circle(img, (cx,cy), 15, (0,255,0), cv2.FILLED)

The application will not consider a value below 50 as 0.01 for the WebCAM start value.

cTime = time.time()
fps = 1/(cTime-pTime)
pTime = cTime


image = cv2.flip(img, flipCode=1)
cv2.putText(image, str(int(fps)), (10, 70), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 3, (255, 0, 255), 3)
cv2.imshow("Original Source",image)

# Creating the new zoom video
cropImg = self.zoomVideo(img, zRange)
cv2.putText(cropImg, str(int(fps)), (10, 70), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 3, (255, 0, 255), 3)
cv2.imshow("Zoomed Source",cropImg)

The application will capture the frame rate & share the original video frame and the test frame, where it will zoom in or out depending on the hand gesture.

3. clsHandMotionScanner.py (This is an enhance version of open source script, which will capture the hand position.)

So, we’ve done it.


You will get the complete codebase in the following Github link.

I’ll bring some more exciting topic in the coming days from the Python verse. Please share & subscribe my post & let me know your feedback.

Till then, Happy Avenging! 🙂

Live visual reading using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) through Python-based machine-learning application.

This week we’re planning to touch on one of the exciting posts of visually reading characters from WebCAM & predict the letters using CNN methods. Before we dig deep, why don’t we see the demo run first?

Demo

Isn’t it fascinating? As we can see, the computer can record events and read like humans. And, thanks to the brilliant packages available in Python, which can help us predict the correct letter out of an Image.


What do we need to test it out?

  1. Preferably an external WebCAM.
  2. A moderate or good Laptop to test out this.
  3. Python 
  4. And a few other packages that we’ll mention next block.

What Python packages do we need?

Some of the critical packages that we must need to test out this application are –

cmake==3.22.1
dlib==19.19.0
face-recognition==1.3.0
face-recognition-models==0.3.0

What is CNN?

In deep learning, a convolutional neural network (CNN/ConvNet) is a class of deep neural networks most commonly applied to analyze visual imagery.

Different Steps of CNN

We can understand from the above picture that a CNN generally takes an image as input. The neural network analyzes each pixel separately. The weights and biases of the model are then tweaked to detect the desired letters (In our use case) from the image. Like other algorithms, the data also has to pass through pre-processing stage. However, a CNN needs relatively less pre-processing than most other Deep Learning algorithms.

If you want to know more about this, there is an excellent article on CNN with some on-point animations explaining this concept. Please read it here.

Where do we get the data sets for our testing?

For testing, we are fortunate enough to have Kaggle with us. We have received a wide variety of sample data, which you can get from here.


Our use-case:

Architecture

From the above diagram, one can see that the python application will consume a live video feed of any random letters (both printed & handwritten) & predict the character as part of the machine learning model that we trained.

Important parameters that we need to follow from the above snippets are –

'testRatio':0.2,
'valRatio':0.2,
'epochsVal':8,
'activationType':'relu',
'activationType2':'softmax',
'numOfClasses':26,
'kernelSize':(3, 3),
'poolSize':(2, 2),
'word_dict':{0:'A',1:'B',2:'C',3:'D',4:'E',5:'F',6:'G',7:'H',8:'I',9:'J',10:'K',11:'L',12:'M',13:'N',14:'O',15:'P',16:'Q',17:'R',18:'S',19:'T',20:'U',21:'V',22:'W',23:'X', 24:'Y',25:'Z'},

Since we have 26 letters, we have classified it as 26 in the numOfClasses.

Since we are talking about characters, we had to come up with a process of identifying each character as numbers & then processing our entire logic. Hence, the above parameter named word_dict captured all the characters in a python dictionary & stored them. Moreover, the application translates the final number output to more appropriate characters as the prediction.
