Option to focus on humans

[adridder]

In certain videos, it has a tendency to focus on the whiteboard, then crops it out, but it fully ignores the human in the video source.
Can we have a flag where the model prefers on humans?

Example video where we it struggles without the flag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNv3rjQaVA

Thanks - will look into that. It's actually an interesting edge case.

In layouts like this (PiP/Screen Sharing) I guess YOLO has to choose between the 'content' (the whiteboard) and the 'speaker' so the model might be picking up false positives from the diagrams or simply prioritizing the larger whiteboard area. I'm working on a --focus-person flag that will:

1. Increase the confidence threshold for detections
2. Prioritize the most 'lifelike' subject (using face detection) over general objects
3. Ignore background elements even if they are large

Or maybe will create a --focus flag:
auto (Current: balance between people and content)
person (New: strictly follow the person, ignore everything else)

Stay tuned Alex!
