Film Generator Life's Photo

Film Generator Life's Photo is a Python script that generates a video by composing images from a directory. The script uses the MediaPipe library to detect facial landmarks and aligns the images based on the location of the eyes.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV (cv2) library
• NumPy library
• MediaPipe library

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the film_generator_lifes_photo.py file.
2. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

   pip install opencv-python numpy mediapipe
   

Usage

1. Place the images you want to include in the video in a directory.
2. Update the img_dir variable in the script with the path to the image directory.
3. Adjust the parameters according to your preferences:
   • left_eye_loc_std: Specifies the standard location of the left eye (x, y) for alignment. Adjust this if the alignment is incorrect.
   • frame_rate: Specifies the frame rate of the generated video.
   • frame_size: Specifies the frame size (width, height) of the generated video.
4. Run the script using the following command:

   python film_generator_lifes_photo.py
   

5. The script will process the images, align them based on the location of the eyes, and generate a video named output.mp4 in the current directory.

Note: Make sure the images in the directory have consistent aspect ratios for better alignment results.
