Hello trend,
This is Satya Mallick from LearnOpenCV.com.
Let me start with a confession. Parenting is hard, and my kids are out of my control. I have just one lever to control their behavior. I ration their internet use. Bad behavior = shorter screen time. So satisfying!
A few weeks back, I turned off the internet connection for my 11 year old as he was being naughty. Not nice! I saw the familiar "No Internet" screen on his browser.
To declare victory, I gave him my evil dad smile. He smiled back, and started playing the dinosaur game. Son - 1. Dad - 0.Until that point, I didn't even know that clicking on the dinosaur icon started a game one can play. But today, I am pleased to share a fun blog post where we use facial gestures to control the dinosaur game.
We go step by step starting with face detection, and facial landmark detection. We then write the jump and crouch controllers, and perform a bit of calibration. Next, we will learn how to use PyautoGUI for keyboard automation, and finally we put it all together into one nice game. You can use the same ideas and build your own controller.
Without further ado, let's jump right into the details

and the python code is at

If you like the tutorial, please create your own game controller and share it on social media. A little shout out will make our day!
Charlie, the Little Robot That Could
I am so excited about tomorrow's OpenCV Weekly Webinar because we have invited Ye Lu (CEO, Cortic Technology).
His team, Cortic Tigers, is one of the winners of OpenCV AI Competition Phase 1. They are building a cute robot named Charlie who is getting smarter week after week after week. Ye will teach us many interesting nuances of programming OpenCV AI Kit with Depth (OAK-D) but he will also share interesting AI resources. You will be inspired by just listening to someone who is building something so cool!
Topic : Charlie, the Little Robot That Could
Time : 9 AM Pacific Time, May 6, 2021
Hosts : Ye Lu (CEO, Cortic Technology), Satya Mallick (CEO, OpenCV.org), and Phil Nelson (Content Manager, OpenCV.org)
Free registration : Zoom Registration Link
Also, check out last week's episode with Raymond Lo at Intel where he taught us how to train a model on Google Colab and then deploy it on an edge hardware (OpenCV AI Kit)
Some exciting news next week
We have some exciting news coming next week related to courses. Sometimes I leak information to our newsletter subscribers about OpenCV news and events, but this time my lips are sealed.
All I can say is .... well, stay tuned!
