If you want to visualize the output of the # trained model on some images then you can run the # face_landmark_detection.py example program with predictor.dat as the input # model. # # It should also be noted that this kind of model, while often used for face # landmarking, is quite general and can be used for a variety of shape # prediction tasks. But here we demonstrate it only on a simple face # landmarking task. # # 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. # # Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have # CMake and boost-python installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by # running the command: # sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev cmake # # Also note that this example requires scikit-image which can be installed # via the command: # pip install scikit-image # Or downloaded from http://scikit-image.org/download.html. import os import sys import glob import dlib from skimage import io # In this example we are going to train a face detector based on the small # faces dataset in the examples/faces directory. This means you need to supply # the path to this faces folder as a command line argument so we will know # where it is. if len(sys.argv) != 2: print( "Give the path to the examples/faces directory as the argument to this " "program. For example, if you are in the python_examples folder then " "execute this program by running:\n" " ./train_shape_predictor.py ../examples/faces") exit() faces_folder = sys.argv[1] options = dlib.shape_predictor_training_options() # Now make the object responsible for training the model. # This algorithm has a bunch of parameters you can mess with. The # documentation for the shape_predictor_trainer explains all of them. # You should also read Kazemi's paper which explains all the parameters # in great detail. However, here I'm just setting three of them # differently than their default values. I'm doing this because we # have a very small dataset. In particular, setting the oversampling # to a high amount (300) effectively boosts the training set size, so # that helps this example. options.oversampling_amount = 300 # I'm also reducing the capacity of the model by explicitly increasing # the regularization (making nu smaller) and by using trees with # smaller depths. options.nu = 0.05 options.tree_depth = 2 options.be_verbose = True # dlib.train_shape_predictor() does the actual training. It will save the # final predictor to predictor.dat.

We # trained it on a very small dataset so the accuracy is not extremely high, but # it's still doing quite good. Moreover, if you train it on one of the large # face landmarking datasets you will obtain state-of-the-art results, as shown # in the Kazemi paper. testing_xml_path = os.path.join(faces_folder, "testing_with_face_landmarks.xml") print("Testing accuracy: {}".format( dlib.test_shape_predictor(testing_xml_path, "predictor.dat"))) # Now let's use it as you would in a normal application.
