Beware of Pedestrians

This project will make the PiCar-X perform appropriate measures based on road conditions. While driving, the PiCar-X will come to a complete stop if a pedestrian is detected in its path.

Once the program is running, hold a photo of a person in front of the PiCar-X. The Video Monitor will detect the person’s face, and the PiCar-X will automatically come to a stop.

To simulate driving safety protocols, a judgment procedure is created that will send a [count] value to a if do else block. The judgement procedure will look for a human face 10 times, and if a face does appear it will increment [count] by +1. When [count] is larger than 3, the PiCar-X will stop moving.
