Presenting my Senior Design Project: Teaching an AI to dance through Fortnite videos. All work is being done through Google Colab notebooks. Most recent work in this folder.
My training data is extracted from this 51:52 minute complilation video of 146 Fornite dances. I am extracting one frame every 2 seconds for a total of 186,720 images.
Before my frames are fed through my model, they are converted into binary images:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Step | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Increase contrast to reduce background gradient to blue and cyan pixels |  |
| 2 | Remove blue and cyan pixels and replace them with white. |
 |
| 3 | Remove remaining intermediary blue hues and replace them with white pixels. With the background isolated, all other pixels are converted to orange. |
|
| 4 | Finally, the image is cropped to remove the sidebars. |  |
