#   This example shows how to use dlib's face recognition tool for image alignment.
#
# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
#   You can install dlib using the command:
#       pip install dlib
#
#   Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib
#   root folder and run:
#       python setup.py install
#   or
#       python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS
#   if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some
#   things run faster.  This code will also use CUDA if you have CUDA and cuDNN
#   installed.
#
#   Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have
#   CMake installed.  On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the
#   command:
#       sudo apt-get install cmake
#
#   Also note that this example requires OpenCV and Numpy which can be installed
#   via the command:
#       pip install opencv-python numpy
#   Or downloaded from http://opencv.org/releases.html
