I am not sure what the issue is but when I move around on the webcam it captures my face but it is not a mirror of my movements, it is backwards/inverted.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
def Webcam(webcam, classifier, downScale):
if webcam.isOpened():
rval, frame = webcam.read()
else:
rval = False
while rval:
# detect faces and draw bounding boxes
minisize = (frame.shape[1]/downScale,frame.shape[0]/downScale)
miniframe = cv2.resize(frame, minisize)
faces = classifier.detectMultiScale(miniframe)
for f in faces:
x, y, w, h = [ v*downScale for v in f ]
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), (0,0,255))
cv2.putText(frame, "Press ESC to close.", (5, 25),
cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1.0, (255,255,255))
cv2.imshow("Face Crop", frame)
# get next frame
rval, frame = webcam.read()
key = cv2.waitKey(10)
if key in [27, ord('Q'), ord('q')]: # exit on ESC
break
a camera is not a mirror.
but you can easily flip() it to behave like a mirror:
rval, frame = webcam.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame,1)
