# MJPEG Video Recording on Face Detection Example
#
# Note: You will need an SD card to run this example.
#
# You can use your OpenMV Cam to record mjpeg files. You can either feed the
# recorder object JPEG frames or RGB565/Grayscale frames. Once you've finished
# recording a Mjpeg file you can use VLC to play it. If you are on Ubuntu then
# the built-in video player will work too.
#
# This example demonstrates using face tracking on your OpenMV Cam to take a
# mjpeg.

sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.GRAYSCALE) # Set pixel format to RGB565 (or GRAYSCALE)
sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QQVGA) # Set frame size to QQVGA (160x120)
sensor.skip_frames(time=2000) # Wait for settings take effect.

# Load up a face detection HaarCascade. This is object that your OpenMV Cam
# can use to detect faces using the find_features() method below. Your OpenMV
# Cam has fontalface HaarCascade built-in. By default, all the stages of the
# HaarCascade are loaded. However, You can adjust the number of stages to speed
# up processing at the expense of accuracy. The frontalface HaarCascade has 25
# stages.

# higher detection rate with more false positives. The scale value
# controls the matching scale allowing you to detect smaller faces.
