Video recording quality check

[bdnc]

For the collecting video recordings, it would be really useful to have some way of checking that the video quality is sufficient. For a lot of the videos we collect, we're planning to analyze them with off-line motion tracking using Mediapipe. Would it be possible to add a check at the beginning of each session (with video collection) to make sure that the video quality (lighting, frame, etc.) is good enough for tracking to be possible? This could be some sort of interactive module that uses Mediapipe (or similar) to track the webcam feed, that shows the participant if their body is being properly captured and only proceeds if tracking is occurring. If tracking fails we ask the participant to try a set of generic adjustments (change the lighting, change the distance from the webcam) and repeat the tracking test. This would avoid collecting video data that is unusable.

That could be possible, but would be a much larger feature. Probably something we would have to have a larger discussion around.
