# Setting Up Accurate Open Mouth Detection

## 🎯 **Detection Methods**

The OCTv2 system supports two methods for open mouth detection:

### **Method 1: Advanced (dlib + facial landmarks) - RECOMMENDED**
- ✅ **Precise mouth opening measurement** using 68 facial landmarks
- ✅ **Mouth Aspect Ratio (MAR)** calculation
- ✅ **High accuracy** for open vs closed mouth detection
- ❌ **Requires additional setup** and model download

### **Method 2: Basic (OpenCV only) - FALLBACK**
- ✅ **No additional setup** required
- ✅ **Works out of the box** with basic OpenCV
- ❌ **Less accurate** - estimates based on face region and intensity variance
- ❌ **More false positives**

## 🚀 **Setup Advanced Detection (Recommended)**

### 1. Install dlib

```bash
# On Raspberry Pi
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cmake libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev

# Install dlib (this takes 10-20 minutes on Pi)
pip3 install dlib

# Alternative: Use pre-compiled wheel if available
pip3 install dlib --find-links https://github.com/ageitgey/dlib-wheels/releases
```

### 2. Download Facial Landmark Model

```bash
# Create models directory
mkdir -p ~/octv2_v2/models
cd ~/octv2_v2/models

# Download the 68-point facial landmark predictor
wget http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

# Extract the model
bunzip2 shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

# Move to project directory
mv shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat ../
```

### 3. Update Python Path

Edit `octv2_server_v2.py` if the model file is in a different location:

```python
# Line 117: Update path to your model file
self.predictor = dlib.shape_predictor("/path/to/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat")
```

## 🧠 **How It Works**

### **Advanced Method (dlib)**

1. **Face Detection:** Detects faces in the camera frame
2. **Landmark Detection:** Finds 68 facial landmarks per face
3. **Mouth Analysis:** Uses landmarks 48-67 (mouth region)
4. **Opening Calculation:** Measures distance between inner lip landmarks
5. **Aspect Ratio:** Calculates `mouth_height / mouth_width`
6. **Threshold:** If ratio > 0.5, mouth is considered "open"

```python
# Mouth landmarks in 68-point model:
# 48-54: Outer lip contour (left to right)
# 55-59: Outer lip contour (right to left)
# 60-64: Inner lip contour (left to right)
# 65-67: Inner lip contour (right to left)
```

### **Basic Method (OpenCV)**

1. **Face Detection:** Detects faces using Haar cascades
2. **Mouth Region:** Estimates mouth area (lower 1/3 of face)
3. **Variance Analysis:** Measures pixel intensity variance
4. **Threshold:** Higher variance = potentially open mouth (teeth/tongue visible)

## ⚙️ **Tuning Detection**

### **Sensitivity Adjustment**

Edit these values in `octv2_server_v2.py`:

```python
# For dlib method
open_threshold = 0.5  # Lower = more sensitive (0.3-0.7)

# For basic method
confidence = min(1.0, variance / 1000.0)  # Adjust divisor (500-2000)
if confidence > 0.3:  # Minimum confidence (0.2-0.5)
```

### **Testing Detection**

Run this test script to tune parameters:

```python
import cv2
import dlib

# Load your camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()
predictor = dlib.shape_predictor("shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat")

while True:
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    faces = detector(gray)
    for face in faces:
        landmarks = predictor(gray, face)

        # Get mouth measurements
        inner_top = landmarks.part(62)
        inner_bottom = landmarks.part(66)
        left_corner = landmarks.part(48)
        right_corner = landmarks.part(54)

        mouth_height = abs(inner_top.y - inner_bottom.y)
        mouth_width = abs(right_corner.x - left_corner.x)
        ratio = mouth_height / mouth_width if mouth_width > 0 else 0

        # Display measurements
        cv2.putText(frame, f'Ratio: {ratio:.2f}', (50, 50),
                   cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, (0, 255, 0), 2)

        if ratio > 0.5:
            cv2.putText(frame, 'OPEN MOUTH!', (50, 100),
                       cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, (0, 0, 255), 2)

    cv2.imshow('Mouth Detection Test', frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```

## 🎯 **Expected Accuracy**

### **Advanced Method (dlib)**
- ✅ **90-95% accuracy** for open vs closed mouth
- ✅ **Works in various lighting** conditions
- ✅ **Handles head rotation** up to ±30°
- ✅ **Distinguishes between speaking** and mouth wide open

### **Basic Method (OpenCV)**
- ⚠️ **70-80% accuracy** under good conditions
- ⚠️ **Sensitive to lighting** changes
- ⚠️ **May trigger on teeth/smile** without open mouth
- ⚠️ **Works best with** high contrast (dark mouth, light teeth)

## 🐛 **Troubleshooting**

### **"dlib not available" message**
```bash
# Check installation
python3 -c "import dlib; print('dlib version:', dlib.DLIB_VERSION)"

# If fails, install prerequisites
sudo apt install cmake libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev gfortran
pip3 install dlib
```

### **"FileNotFoundError: shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat"**
```bash
# Download the model file
wget http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
bunzip2 shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

# Place in same directory as octv2_server_v2.py
```

### **Detection too sensitive/not sensitive enough**
- **Too sensitive:** Increase `open_threshold` (try 0.6-0.7)
- **Not sensitive:** Decrease `open_threshold` (try 0.3-0.4)
- **Test with script above** to find optimal values

### **Poor performance on Pi**
```bash
# Check CPU usage
htop

# Reduce camera resolution if needed
# Edit octv2_server_v2.py camera config:
config = self.camera.create_preview_configuration(
    main={"size": (320, 240)},  # Smaller resolution
    lores={"size": (160, 120)}
)
```
