New hands-on tutorial on The Main Thread 🚀

I built a real-time emotion detector in Java using #Quarkus, #JavaCV, #WebSocketsNext, and #LangChain4j.

The pipeline streams webcam frames → detects faces locally → sends only the cropped face to a multimodal LLM (GPT-4o/Gemini) for emotion classification.

High-throughput + low latency = fun and surprisingly practical.

This is pretty neat. Not the huge bloated setup one needs, but a tiny fine minimum.

"This is an open source library for CNN-based face detection in images. The CNN model has been converted to static variables in C source files. The source code does not depend on any other libraries. What you need is just a C++ compiler"

How well it works, I will find out.
I have been playing with dlib's builtin face detection, it was ok but not perfect.

Testing *deface* (https://github.com/ORB-HD/deface), a command line application to detect and anonymize peoples faces in video and images. I tested earlier an image (https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/111703627023452784). This is a video I made after the sit-in inside #UtrechtCS had ended, and the crowd walked to the Stadskantoor (City office) on the other side of the station.

I'm very satisfied with the results. This video is rendered with the default settings, except the audio was kept with the -k option. Best open-source face anonymizer I could find (maybe I missed something). It would be great if someone would make a mobile app based on this code, so that people who film demonstrations could anonymize and upload on the fly.

Edit: I know about #ObscuraCam, but it looks that the development has stalled and it is not as good as this utility.
