In # particular, this program shows how you can take a list of images from the # command line and display each on the screen with red boxes overlaid on each # human face. # # The examples/faces folder contains some jpg images of people. You can run # this program on them and see the detections by executing the following command: # ./face_detector.py ../examples/faces/*.jpg # # This face detector is made using the now classic Histogram of Oriented # Gradients (HOG) feature combined with a linear classifier, an image # pyramid, and sliding window detection scheme. This type of object detector # is fairly general and capable of detecting many types of semi-rigid objects # in addition to human faces. Therefore, if you are interested in making # your own object detectors then read the train_object_detector.py example # program. # # # COMPILING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE # Dlib comes with a compiled python interface for python 2.7 on MS Windows. If # you are using another python version or operating system then you need to # compile the dlib python interface before you can use this file. To do this, # run compile_dlib_python_module.bat. This 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 import dlib, sys from skimage import io detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector() win = dlib.image_window() for f in sys.argv[1:]: print "processing file: ", f img = io.imread(f) # The 1 in the second argument indicates that we should upsample the image # 1 time. This will make everything bigger and allow us to detect more # faces. dets = detector(img,1) print "number of faces detected: ", len(dets) for d in dets: print " detection position left,top,right,bottom:", d.left(), d.top(), d.right(), d.bottom() win.clear_overlay() win.set_image(img) win.add_overlay(dets) raw_input("Hit enter to continue")
