Ai-Face-Video-Extractor

An intelligent desktop application that uses AI-powered face detection to filter videos, keeping only frames containing human faces. Built with Python and OpenCV, this tool leverages advanced computer vision models to automate video processing tasks.

🧠 AI Features

Dual Detection Models

• SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector): Deep learning-based detection with confidence scoring
• Haar Cascade: Traditional machine learning approach for face detection
• Configurable Confidence Threshold: Adjust detection sensitivity from 0.1 to 1.0

Smart Video Processing

• Intelligent Frame Selection: Automatically identifies and retains frames with human faces
• Real-time Processing: Live progress tracking with frames-per-second monitoring
• Audio Preservation: Maintains synchronized audio from original video
• Batch Frame Export: Option to save detected frames as images or separate videos

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• OpenCV with DNN support
• FFmpeg (for audio processing)
• Pre-trained AI models

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/face-video-processor.git
cd face-video-processor

2. Install required packages:

pip install opencv-python tkinter numpy

3. Download AI models:

   • SSD Model: res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel
   • Config: deploy.prototxt
   • Haar Cascade: haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml

4. Install FFmpeg and update the path in the configuration

Usage

python face_video_processor.py

🎯 How the AI Works

Face Detection Pipeline

1. Frame Extraction: Video is decomposed into individual frames
2. AI Analysis: Each frame is processed through selected detection model
3. Confidence Filtering: Frames are kept based on confidence threshold
4. Temporal Reconstruction: Selected frames are reassembled into video

Model Comparison

• SSD Model: Higher accuracy, better with varied angles and lighting
• Haar Cascade: Faster processing, effective for frontal faces

⚙️ Configuration

Model Paths

Update these paths in the code:

self.model_path = "path/to/res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel"
