RAG implementation of LLMs by using Python, Haystack & React (Part – 1)

Today, I will share a new post in a part series about creating end-end LLMs that feed source data with RAG implementation. I’ll also use OpenAI python-based SDK and Haystack embeddings in this case.

In this post, I’ve directly subscribed to OpenAI & I’m not using OpenAI from Azure. However, I’ll explore that in the future as well.

Before I explain the process to invoke this new library, why not view the demo first & then discuss it?

Demo

Let us look at the flow diagram as it captures the sequence of events that unfold as part of the process.

As you can see, to enable this large & complex solution, we must first establish the capabilities to build applications powered by LLMs, Transformer models, vector search, and more. You can use state-of-the-art NLP models to perform question-answering, answer generation, semantic document search, or build tools capable of complex decision-making and query resolution. Hence, steps no. 1 & 2 showcased the data embedding & creating that informed repository. We’ll be discussing that in our second part.

Once you have the informed repository, the system can interact with the end-users. As part of the query (shown in step 3), the prompt & the question are shared with the process engine, which then turned to reduce the volume & get relevant context from our informed repository & get the tuned context as part of the response (Shown in steps 4, 5 & 6).

Then, this tuned context is shared with the OpenAI for better response & summary & concluding remarks that are very user-friendly & easier to understand for end-users (Shown in steps 8 & 9).

The following are the important packages that are essential to this project –

pip install farm-haystack==1.19.0
pip install Flask==2.2.5
pip install Flask-Cors==4.0.0
pip install Flask-JWT-Extended==4.5.2
pip install Flask-Session==0.5.0
pip install openai==0.27.8
pip install pandas==2.0.3
pip install tensorflow==2.11.1

We’ve both the front-end using react & back-end APIs with Python-flask and the Open AI to create this experience.

Today, we’ll be going in reverse mode. We first discuss the main script & then explain all the other class scripts.

Let us understand some of the important sections of the above script –

Function – login():

The login function retrieves a ‘username’ and ‘password’ from a JSON request and prints them. It checks if the provided credentials are missing from users or password lists, returning a failure JSON response if so. It creates and returns an access token in a JSON response if valid.

Function – get_chat():

The get_chat function retrieves the running session count and user input from a JSON request. Based on the session count, it extracts catalog data or processes the user’s message from the RAG framework that finally receives the refined response from the OpenAI, extracting hash values, image URLs, and wiki URLs. If an error arises, the function captures and returns the error as a JSON message.

Function – updateCounter():

The updateCounter function checks if a given CSV file exists and retrieves its counter value. It then increments the counter and writes it back to the CSV. If any errors occur, an error message is printed, and the function returns a value of 1.

Function – extractRemoveUrls():

The extractRemoveUrls function attempts to filter a data frame, resDf, based on a provided hash value to extract image and wiki URLs. If the data frame contains matching entries, it retrieves the corresponding URLs. Any errors encountered are printed, but the function always returns the image and wiki URLs, even if they are empty.

Let us understand the the core part that require from this class.

Function – extractCatalog():

The extractCatalog function uses specific headers to make a GET request to a constructed URL. The URL is derived by appending ‘/departments’ to a base_url, and a header token is used in the request headers. If successful, it returns the text of the response; if there’s an exception, it prints the error and returns the error message.

The ragAnswerWithHaystackAndGPT3 function retrieves relevant documents for a given question using the retrieveDocumentsReader method. It then generates an answer for the query using GPT-3 with the retrieved documents via the generateAnswerWithGPT3 method. The final response is returned.

Function – generateAnswerWithGPT3():

The generateAnswerWithGPT3 function, given a list of retrieved documents and a question, communicates with OpenAI’s GPT-3 to generate an answer. It first processes the documents, filtering and extracting a hash value. Using a chat-style format, it prompts GPT-3 with the processed documents and captures its response. If an error occurs, an error message is printed, and “Not Available!” is returned.

Function – retrieveDocumentsReader():

The retrieveDocumentsReader function takes in a question and an optional parameter, top_k (defaulted to 9). It is called the retriever.retrieve method with the given parameters. The result of the retrieval will generate at max nine responses from the RAG engine, which will be fed to OpenAI.

Please find some of the important logic –

Function – handleLogin():

The handleLogin asynchronous function responds to an event by preventing its default action. It attempts to post a login request with a username and password to a local server endpoint. If the response is successful with a status of 200, it updates a state variable to indicate a successful login; otherwise, it logs any encountered errors.

Function – sendMessage():

The sendMessage asynchronous function is designed to handle the user’s chat interaction:

  1. If the message is empty (after trimming spaces), the function exits without further action.
  2. A chat entry object is created with the sender set as ‘user’ and the trimmed message.
  3. The input field’s message is cleared, and an API request is made to a local server endpoint with the chat message.
  4. If the API responds with a ‘departments’ attribute in its JSON, a bot response is crafted by iterating over department details.
  5. If the API responds with ‘records’ indicating artwork information, the bot crafts responses for each record, extracting text, images, and wiki links, and generating JSX elements for rendering them.
  6. After processing the API response, the chat log state is updated with the user’s original message and the bot’s responses.
  7. Errors, if encountered, are logged to the console.

This function enables interactive chat with bot responses that vary based on the nature of the data received from the API.

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! 🙂

Enabling OpenAI-based NLP engine with SIRI (MacBook/iPad/iPhone) through a proxy-driven restricted API using Python.

Today, I’m very excited to demonstrate an effortless & new way to integrate SIRI with a controlled Open-AI exposed through a proxy API. So, why this is important; this will give you options to control your ChatGPT environment as per your principles & then you can use a load-balancer (if you want) & exposed that through proxy.

In this post, I’ve directly subscribed to OpenAI & I’m not using OpenAI from Azure. However, I’ll explore that in the future as well.


Before I explain the process to invoke this new library, why not view the demo first & then discuss it?

Demo

Isn’t it fascinating? This approach will lead to a whole new ballgame, where you can add SIRI with an entirely new world of knowledge as per your requirements & expose them in a controlled way.

FLOW OF EVENTS:

Let us look at the flow diagram as it captures the sequence of events that unfold as part of the process.

As you can see, Apple Shortcuts triggered the requests through its voice app, which then translates the question to text & then it will invoke the ngrok proxy API, which will eventually trigger the controlled custom API built using Flask & Python to start the Open AI API.


CODE:

Why don’t we go through the code made accessible due to this new library for this particular use case?

The key snippets from the above script are as follows –

def extractContentInText(self, query):
    try:
        model_name = self.model_name
        max_token = self.max_token
        temp_val = self.temp_val

        template = ct.templateVal_1

        response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=model_name, temperature=temp_val, messages=[{"role": "system", "content": template},{"role": "user", "content": query}])
        inputJson = {"text": response['choices'][0]['message']['content']}

        return jsonify(inputJson)
    except Exception as e:
        discussedTopic = []
        x = str(e)
        print('Error: ', x)
        template = ct.templateVal_2

        inputJson = {"text": template}

        return jsonify(inputJson)

The provided Python code snippet defines a method extractContentInText, which interacts with OpenAI’s API to generate a response from OpenAI’s chat model to a user’s query. Here’s a summary of what it does:

  1. It fetches some predefined model configurations (model_name, max_token, temp_val). These are class attributes defined elsewhere.
  2. It sets a system message template (initial instruction for the AI model) using ct.templateVal_1. The ct object isn’t defined within this snippet but is likely another predefined object or module in the more extensive program.
  3. It then calls openai.ChatCompletion.create() to send messages to the AI model and generate a response. The statements include an initial system message and a user’s query.
  4. The model’s response is extracted and formatted into a JSON object inputJson where the ‘text’ field holds the AI’s response.
  5. The input JSON object returns a JSON response.

If an error occurs at any stage of this process (caught in the except block), it prints the error, sets a fallback message template using ct.templateVal_2, formats this into a JSON object, and returns it as a JSON response.

Note: The max_token variable is fetched but not used within the function; it might be a remnant of previous code or meant to be used in further development. The code also assumes a predefined ct object and a method called jsonify(), possibly from Flask, for formatting Python dictionaries into JSON format.

def openai_call():
    try:
        var = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")
        print('*'*120)

        print('End Time: ' + str(var1))

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

The provided Python code defines a route in a Flask web server that listens for POST requests at the ‘/openai’ endpoint. Here’s what it does in detail:

  1. It records and prints the current time, marking the start of the request handling.
  2. It retrieves the incoming data from the POST request as JSON with the request.get_json().
  3. It then extracts the ‘prompt’ from the JSON data. The request defaults to an empty string if no ‘prompt’ is provided in the request.
  4. The prompt is passed as an argument to the method extractContentInText() object cJarvis. This method is expected to use OpenAI’s API to generate a response from a model given the prompt (as discussed in your previous question). The result of this method call is stored in the variable res.
  5. The res variable (the model’s response) returns the answer to the client requesting the POST.
  6. It prints the current time again, marking the end of the request handling (However, this part of the code will never be executed as it places after a return statement).
  7. If an error occurs during this process, it catches the exception, converts it to a string, and prints the error message.

The cJarvis object used in the cJarvis.extractContentInText(str(prompt)) call is not defined within this code snippet. It is a global object likely defined elsewhere in the more extensive program. The extractContentInText method is the one you shared in your previous question.

Apple Shortcuts:

Now, let us understand the steps in Apple Shortcuts.

You can now set up a Siri Shortcut to call the URL provided by ngrok:

  1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the ‘+’ to create a new Shortcut.
  3. Add an action, search for “URL,” and select the URL action. Enter your ngrok URL here, with the /openai endpoint.
  4. Add another action, search for “Get Contents of URL.” This step will send a POST request to the URL from the previous activity. Set the method to POST and add a request body with type ‘JSON,’ containing a key ‘prompt’ and a value being the input you want to send to your OpenAI model.
  5. Optionally, you can add another action, “Show Result” or “Speak Text” to see/hear the result returned from your server.
  6. Save your Shortcut and give it a name.

You should now be able to activate Siri and say the name of your Shortcut to have it send a request to your server, which will then send a prompt to the OpenAI API and return the response.

Let us understand the “Get contents of” with easy postman screenshots –

As you can see that the newly exposed proxy-API will receive an input named prompt, which will be passed from “Dictate Text.”


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.

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.

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.

# 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))

  # 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

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.

Please find the key snippet from the above script –

def playAudio(self, audioFile, audioLen, freq, stopFlag=False):
  try:
    pygame.mixer.init()
    pygame.init()
    pygame.mixer.music.load(audioFile)

    pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(10)

    val = int(audioLen)
    i = 0

    while i < val:
      pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0, start=float(i))
      time.sleep(freq)

      i = i + 1

      if (i >= val):
        raise BreakLoop

      if (stopFlag==True):
        raise BreakLoop

    return 0
  except BreakLoop as s:
    return 0
  except Exception as e:
    x = str(e)
    print(x)

    return 1

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.

def extractAudio(self, video_file, output_ext="mp3"):
    try:
        """Converts video to audio directly using `ffmpeg` command
        with the help of subprocess module"""
        filename, ext = os.path.splitext(video_file)
        subprocess.call(["ffmpeg", "-y", "-i", video_file, f"{filename}.{output_ext}"],
                        stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
                        stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

        return 0
    except Exception as e:
        x = str(e)
        print('Error: ', x)

        return 1

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

# Initialize the video file stream
print("[INFO] accessing video stream...")
vf = cv2.VideoCapture(videoFile)

x = self.extractAudio(videoFile)

if x == 0:
    print('Successfully Audio extracted from the source file!')
else:
    print('Failed to extract the source audio!')

# Initialize a queue to maintain the next frame from the video stream
Q = deque(maxlen=128)

# We need to have a frame in our queue to start our augmented reality
# pipeline, so read the next frame from our video file source and add
# it to our queue
(grabbed, source) = vf.read()
Q.appendleft(source)

# Initialize the video stream and allow the camera sensor to warm up
print("[INFO] starting video stream...")
vs = VideoStream(src=0).start()

time.sleep(2.0)
flg = 0

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.

while len(Q) > 0:
  try:
    # Grab the frame from our video stream and resize it
    frame = vs.read()
    frame = imutils.resize(frame, width=1020)

    # Attempt to find the ArUCo markers in the frame, and provided
    # they are found, take the current source image and warp it onto
    # input frame using our augmented reality technique
    warped = x1.getWarpImages(
      frame, source,
      cornerIDs=(923, 1001, 241, 1007),
      arucoDict=arucoDict,
      arucoParams=arucoParams,
      zoomFlag=zFlag,
      useCache=CacheL > 0)

    # If the warped frame is not None, then we know (1) we found the
    # four ArUCo markers and (2) the perspective warp was successfully
    # applied
    if warped is not None:
      # Set the frame to the output augment reality frame and then
      # 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

        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.

Key snippets from the above script –

def findHands(self, img, draw=True):
    try:
        # Send rgb image to hands
        imgRGB = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        self.results = self.hands.process(imgRGB)

        # process the frame
        if self.results.multi_hand_landmarks:
            for handLms in self.results.multi_hand_landmarks:

                if draw:
                    #Draw dots and connect them
                    self.mpDraw.draw_landmarks(img,handLms,self.mpHands.HAND_CONNECTIONS)

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

        return img

The above function will identify individual key points & marked them as dots on top of human hands.

def findPosition(self, img, handNo=0, draw=True):
      try:
          lmlist = []

          # check wether any landmark was detected
          if self.results.multi_hand_landmarks:
              #Which hand are we talking about
              myHand = self.results.multi_hand_landmarks[handNo]
              # Get id number and landmark information
              for id, lm in enumerate(myHand.landmark):
                  # id will give id of landmark in exact index number
                  # height width and channel
                  h,w,c = img.shape
                  #find the position - center
                  cx,cy = int(lm.x*w), int(lm.y*h) 
                  lmlist.append([id,cx,cy])

              # Draw circle for 0th landmark
              if draw:
                  cv2.circle(img,(cx,cy), 15 , (255,0,255), cv2.FILLED)

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

          lmlist = []
          return lmlist

The above line will capture the position of each media pipe point along with the x & y coordinate & store them in a list, which will be later parsed for main use case.

The above lines are self-explanatory. So, I’m not going to discuss anything on this script.


FOLDER STRUCTURE:

Here is the folder structure that contains all the files & directories in MAC O/S –

Directory

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! 🙂

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

Detecting real-time human emotions using Open-CV, DeepFace & Python

Hi Guys,

Today, I’ll be using another exciting installment of Computer Vision. Our focus will be on getting a sense of human emotions. Let me explain. This post will demonstrate how to read/detect human emotions by analyzing computer vision videos. We will be using part of a Bengali Movie called “Ganashatru (An enemy of the people)” 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

From the above diagram, one can see that the application, which uses both the Open-CV & DeepFace, analyzes individual frames from the source. Then predicts the emotions & adds the label in the target B&W frames. 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 deepface
pip install opencv-python
pip install ffpyplayer

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.

  • clsConfig.py (This script will play the video along with audio in sync.)
