Arduino-Based Camera Face Tracker v2

Purpose

This second iteration set out to make automatic face-tracking smoother and more reliable, a camera that spots a person and keeps them centered without anyone touching it. Cameras that follow a subject on their own power real work in filming, conferencing, and monitoring, and the hard part is doing it fast enough to feel live.

Description

We built a rig that detects a face in the live feed and continuously steers a motorized mount to keep the subject centered as they move. A desktop interface streams the video and shows the tracking state, while position corrections flow to the hardware over a direct link so the camera re-aims frame by frame. Refining this vision-guided motion loop into steady, real-time tracking is exactly the kind of build we push from rough prototype to something dependable.
