OBS Face Tracker 0.7.1
This is an experimental release.
Changes in 0.7.1
- Added MMOD face detection algorithm in dlib.
- Uses RGB image for image processing instead of grayscale.
- Fixed crash when correlation-tracker model is not loaded properly.
- Fixed crash when CPU is so slow that correlation tracker cannot process within a frame time.
- Removed too verbose log when controlling a PTZ camera.
- Updated dlib version to 19.24.2.
Limitation
- Not all binary packages are tested.
- 0.7.1 is the latest tested package with OBS 29 on Intel macOS.
- 0.6.2 was the latest tested package with OBS 28 on M1/M2 macOS.
- 0.7.1 is the latest tested package with OBS 29 on Windows.
- 0.7.1 is the latest tested package with OBS 29 on Ubuntu 22.04.
- The source code is developed on Fedora with OBS 29.
- Currently the plugin works for one face. If there are two or more faces, the plugin might hover back and forth over the faces.
- Consumes a lot of CPU. It is recommended to have enough test beforehand to ensure it won't affect encoding.
Especially on Apple Silicon, performance might not be good since OpenBLAS is not linked. - There is no warranty for the results. Use at your own risk.
- I heard some anti-virus software detect the installer. If you see your anti-virus software alarms the installer, please file to issue page with the information of (a) anti-virus software and (b) type of the virus (either text or screen shot is ok).
I'd like to note that all binaries are build on a Microsoft-hosted machine and the whole recipe is available on azure-pipelines.yml.
