# cam-feed-ai-classifier
A real-time AI-powered camera feed classifier that uses YOLOv8 to detect and classify whether people are actively working at their desks. Supports both MacBook built-in cameras and iPhone cameras via Continuity Camera.
## 🚀 Features
- **Real-time AI Classification**: Live desk work activity detection using YOLOv8
- **Multi-Camera Support**: Works with MacBook cameras and iPhone cameras
- **Person & Equipment Detection**: Identifies people, laptops, keyboards, mice, and phones
- **Pose Analysis**: Advanced body posture analysis for accurate work state detection
- **Live Statistics**: Real-time counts of working vs. idle people
- **High Performance**: Optimized frame processing with adjustable quality modes
## 📊 Classifications
- 🟢 **Working**: Person at desk with active working posture
- 🟡 **At Desk**: Person at desk but not actively engaged
- 🟠 **At Desk (Idle)**: Person at desk with minimal activity
- 🔴 **Away from Desk**: Person not positioned at workspace
## 🛠️ Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- macOS (tested on macOS 13+)
- Camera access permissions
### Setup
1. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cam-feed-ai-classifier.git
cd cam-feed-ai-classifier
```
2. **Install dependencies**
```bash
# Using pipenv (recommended)
pipenv install
# Or using pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. **Grant camera permissions**
- **System Preferences** → **Security & Privacy** → **Camera**
- Enable access for Terminal/IDE
## 🎯 Quick Start
### MacBook Camera
```bash
pipenv shell
python main.py
```
### iPhone Camera Setup
#### **Method 1: Continuity Camera (macOS 13+)**
1. iPhone: Settings → General → AirPlay & Handoff → Continuity Camera ✓
2. Mac: System Settings → General → AirPlay & Handoff → iPhone Widgets ✓
3. Keep iPhone unlocked and nearby
#### **Method 2: Third-party Apps**
- Install [Camo](https://reincubate.com/camo/) or [EpocCam](https://www.elgato.com/epoccam)
- Connect via USB or WiFi
Then run:
```bash
pipenv run python main.py
```
## ⌨️ Controls
| Key | Action |
| --- | --------------------------- |
| `q` | Quit application |
| `s` | Save current frame |
| `t` | Test camera connection |
| `f` | Toggle full processing mode |
| `c` | Show available cameras |
| `r` | Reset/restart detection |

## 🔧 Configuration
### Camera Detection
The system automatically detects available cameras:
- **Index 0**: MacBook built-in camera (1280x720)
- **Index 1**: iPhone/external camera (1920x1080+)
- **Index 2+**: Additional cameras
### Adjusting Sensitivity
Edit confidence thresholds in `main.py`:
```python
# Object detection confidence
obj_results = self.yolo_model.predict(frame, conf=0.3)
# Working pose threshold
is_working = working_score > 0.5 # Adjust 0.1-0.9
```
### Performance Tuning
```python
# Frame processing (every Nth frame)
skip_frames = 2 # Process every 3rd frame
# Camera resolution
self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1920) # Higher = better quality
self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 1080) # Higher = slower processing
```
## 🧠 How It Works
### AI Pipeline
1. **Object Detection** (YOLOv8): Detects persons and work equipment
2. **Spatial Analysis**: Determines desk positioning relationships
3. **Pose Estimation** (YOLOv8-pose): Analyzes body keypoints
4. **Classification Logic**: Combines spatial + pose data for final status
5. **Real-time Display**: Live visualization with statistics
### Detection Logic
- **Proximity Check**: Person within range of work equipment
- **Posture Analysis**: Sitting position, shoulder alignment, head orientation
- **Hand Position**: Typing posture detection via wrist/elbow keypoints
- **Engagement Score**: Combined confidence metric (0.0-1.0)
## 🎛️ Output Display
The interface shows:
- Live camera feed with bounding boxes
- Person classifications with confidence scores
- Equipment detection highlights
- Real-time statistics (People | At Desk | Working)
- Processing mode and timestamp
- Camera resolution info
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Camera Issues
```bash
# Test camera availability
python -c "import cv2; print([cv2.VideoCapture(i).isOpened() for i in range(5)])"
```
**Common Solutions:**
- Close other camera apps (Zoom, Teams, etc.)
- Restart Terminal/IDE after granting permissions
- Try different camera indices (0, 1, 2)
- For iPhone: ensure same Apple ID, WiFi/Bluetooth enabled
### Performance Issues
- Use MacBook camera for better performance
- Reduce resolution in camera settings
- Increase frame skipping (`skip_frames = 3`)
- Toggle full processing mode with `f` key
### Detection Quality
- Ensure good lighting conditions
- Position camera to capture full desk area
- Use iPhone camera for higher resolution
- Adjust confidence thresholds
## 🔬 Technical Details
