Project Details
How It Works
How It WorksThe ESP32-CAM streams live video from its camera. The ESP-WHO face detection firmware processes each frame using optimized AI libraries to detect human faces. When a face is detected, bounding boxes are drawn around it. The processed video stream is then sent to a web browser via Wi-Fi, allowing real-time viewing of face detection results. All processing happens on the device without cloud dependency.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Arduino IDE and ESP32 programming. Understanding of Wi-Fi networking concepts. Familiarity with computer vision concepts is helpful but not required.
