Pygame + OpenCV Breakout-Game with Face Dectection

Pygame integrates with OpenCV to deploy pre-trained deep learning-based face detector. The breakout game uses x-coordinate of a detected face to control the paddle.

Prerequisites

The following software/packages are required to run this project.

• Python3
• OpenCV(3.3 or greater)
• pygame(1.9.4 or greater)
• imutils (computer vision/image processing Python package created by the author of pyimagesearch.com)

Running the game

$ python3 main.py -p deploy.prototxt.txt -m res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel

OpenCV 3.3 ships with following ready-to-use deep learning-based face detector.

• deploy.prototxt.txt defines the architecture of pre-trained model
• res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel is an actual pre-trained deep learning-based face detection model
