Writing an App with Android Studio to watch a Live Video which is provided by a Camera

Question

I am currently working on a project. I have learned Java for ~4 years and am completely new to Android Studio.

In this project, a camera with artificial intelligence should recognize people within a certain radius.

With an Android app that I want to program using Java via Android Studio, I want to access the camera and query the information.

My question would be, with which tool or library can I program such an app and what else do i need?

I tried to use OpenCV and also Exoplayer, watched several different tutorials, but nothing really worked out for me.

I thought using histograms might be the right apporach. I looked around and found this intersting project. https://isl.cs.technion.ac.il/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Face_Recognition_Project.pdf

Introduction Our goal was to create a fully operational mobile application which could detect, recognize and track human faces. In order to do that, we have decided to use the Android[3] platform combined with the opencv library[4][5]. The development of the application was made on Qualcomm MSM8960[6] mobile device which run a 4.0.3 Android OS. In addition to the application we have built, we also did a research about how well we can use LDA[1] and PCA[2] in order to recognize faces and also about the use of LDA in order to do basic pose estimation.
