I am trying to hide the video (webcam in this case) but keep the detected points of the hand. I have tried different methods, but I am unsuccessful so far. I appreciate the help.
Main code (below) from ml5.js can be found and tested live here: https://editor.p5js.org/ml5/sketches/Handpose_Webcam
let handpose;
let video;
let predictions = [];
function setup() {
createCanvas(640, 480);
video = createCapture(VIDEO);
video.size(width, height);
handpose = ml5.handpose(video, modelReady);
// This sets up an event that fills the global variable "predictions"
// with an array every time new hand poses are detected
handpose.on("predict", results => {
predictions = results;
});
// Hide the video element, and just show the canvas
video.hide();
}
function modelReady() {
console.log("Model ready!");
}
function draw() {
image(video, 0, 0, width, height);
// We can call both functions to draw all keypoints and the skeletons
drawKeypoints();
}
// A function to draw ellipses over the detected keypoints
function drawKeypoints() {
for (let i = 0; i < predictions.length; i += 1) {
const prediction = predictions[i];
for (let j = 0; j < prediction.landmarks.length; j += 1) {
const keypoint = prediction.landmarks[j];
fill(0, 255, 0);
noStroke();
ellipse(keypoint[0], keypoint[1], 10, 10);
}
}
}
