Business case

In public places like banks and stores, there's an expectation of visibility. A concealed face can raise safety concerns and hinder identification in case of incidents. Even without malicious intent, a hidden face can make employees and customers uneasy, potentially deterring repeat business.
There's a need for a system to detect concealed faces upon entry. Such a solution would alert staff or security without necessarily confronting the individual. It's about safety and a positive customer experience.

Instructions for the demo usage:

1. Extract the contents of the provided file to a location of your choice on your computer.

2. Run the start.bat file to initiate the demo. By default, the program seeks out and uses the primary camera feed. To specify alternative video sources or save the output to a video file, you may modify the start.bat file.

To process feeds from different cameras, alter the start.bat file, replacing the default camera ID (0) with your desired camera ID, video path, or RTSP URL.

Examples:

• Command: Demo.exe 0
  Effect: The program accesses and processes the primary camera feed.
• Command: Demo.exe 1
  Effect: If multiple cameras are connected to your PC, this command allows the program to access and process the secondary camera feed.
• Command: Demo.exe C://demo/test.mp4
  Effect: This command prompts the program to access and process a specific video file.
• Command: Demo.exe C://demo/test.mp4 C://demo/output.mp4
  Effect: By specifying a second path in the command line argument, you can save the processing results to an output video file. The program will then create and populate this file with the processed video output.
• Command: Demo.exe rtsp://192.168.0.189:554/h264
  Effect: The program is capable of accessing and processing other video sources, including RTSP or MJPEG streams.

To exit the program at any time, press the ESC key.
