The problem Sleep Monitoring using Laptop cam solves
The app aims to help users find patterns in their sleeps. Sleep is a very important aspect of our life and lack of proper sleep can be taxing to the brain. So to enable everyone to have healtier lifestyle and make them aware of their irregularities of sleep, the website will enable them do so in cost effective.
The requirements are only to a computer/laptop with WebCam & Internet Connection.
Challenges we ran into
Establishing connection using SocketIO to Flask backend had issues and there were active github issues thus resulting in dropping SocketIO from the code and replaced by using POST using ajax to replicate a form submission to allow flask to properly read the video.
Default codec used by WebCam to record has lots of issues while pricessing the video so we needed to change it.
Lack of pretrained model for this Qs and missing labeled dataset was big problems too.
