Stabilizing Media Pipe points

[subash chandran]

Hello Team,

I have been using mediapipe for quite sometime and i see the points and landmarks rendered are soo fast that even shows my hand as moving when it is still in same place. This is not only with hand, it also happens for every part of body mainly for leg. 

I would wish to render it slow so that the result is more stabilized and  accurate(for example if the landmarks are given for ever milli second, can it be modified to give landmarks for every second?) Is this possible in Mediapipe? Is there any way i can do it?

Hello,

Since I'm working on a project where having stable points is very important I think I'm concerned. I didn't use MediaPipe very much but before using it, I tried OpenPose, and I could tell that MediaPipe landmarks, at least compared to OpenPose, are very stable. Have you tried changing models' parametres ? You could apply smoothness to the model with smooth_landmarks parameter. Also, have you tried changing other parametres? like changing the models' complexity, because using the lite version will give less accurate results.

You have also asked about if it's possible to give landmarks for every second instead of giving them in milliseconds. I will reformulate this, imagine a model where you inputs a video with more than 30fps and it outputs a single frame per second video ! that's how it would look like in your case, and some of human actions don't even take more than a second so you will actually perceive nothing from the motion.
