Description

Enhance the Santa Claus demo by implementing an optional feature where the background is swapped with a Christmas theme. This is a great opportunity to experiment with background segmentation methods.

This project will involve Python programming; basic experience with AI models from frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenVINO, or ONNX is beneficial. To learn more about the OpenVINO toolkit, visit the documentation here.

Steps:

1. Implement Christmas-Themed Background Swap:

   • Develop a feature that detects the background and replaces it with a Christmas-themed image or video for the Santa Claus demo.
   • Ensure the background swap is seamless and does not interfere with the detection of people in the demo.

2. Enhance User Experience:

   • Add real-time data visualization to display the Christmas-themed background.
   • Ensure the background swap feature does not significantly impact the demo's performance, maintaining results within a reasonable time frame (without significantly slowing down the current demo).

3. Documentation:

   • Provide clear and detailed documentation for setting up and running the enhanced demo.
   • Include comments in the code to explain key sections and logic.
