# PDlib - A PHP extension for Dlib
## Requirements
- Dlib 19.13+
- PHP 7.0+
- C++11
- libx11-dev (on Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libx11-dev`)
## Recommended
- BLAS library
If no BLAS library found - dlib's built in BLAS will be used.
However, if you install an optimized BLAS such as OpenBLAS or the Intel MKL your code
will run faster. On Ubuntu you can install OpenBLAS by executing:
`sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev`
## Dependencies
### Dlib
Install Dlib as shared library
```bash
git clone https://github.com/davisking/dlib.git
cd dlib/dlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..
make
sudo make install
```
## Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/goodspb/pdlib.git
cd pdlib
phpize
./configure --enable-debug
make
sudo make install
```
### Configure PHP installation
```bash
vim youpath/php.ini
```
Append the content below into `php.ini`
```
[pdlib]
extension="pdlib.so"
```
## Tests
For tests, you will need to have bz2 extension installed. On Ubuntu, it boils to:
```bash
sudo apt-get install php-bz2
```
After you successfully compiled everything, just run:
```bash
make test
```
## Usage
### General Usage
Good starting point can be `tests/integration_face_recognition.phpt`. Check that first.
Basically, if you just quickly want to get from your image to 128D descriptor of faces in image,
here is really minimal example how:
```php
<?php
$img_path = "image.jpg";
$fd = new CnnFaceDetection("detection_cnn_model.dat");
$detected_faces = $fd->detect($img_path);
foreach($detected_faces as $detected_face) {
$fld = new FaceLandmarkDetection("landmark_model.dat");
$landmarks = $fld->detect($img_path, $detected_face);
$fr = new FaceRecognition("recognition_model.dat");
$descriptor = $fr->computeDescriptor($img_path, $landmarks);
// Optionally use descriptor later in `dlib_chinese_whispers` function
}
```
Location from where to get these models can be found on DLib website, as well as in `tests/integration_face_recognition.phpt` test.
### Specific use cases
#### face detection
If you want to use HOG based approach:
```php
<?php
// face detection
detected_faces = dlib_face_detection("image.jpg");
// $detected_faces is indexed array, where values are assoc arrays with "top", "bottom", "left" and "right" values
```
If you want to use CNN approach (and CNN model):
```php
<?php
$fd = new CnnFaceDetection("detection_cnn_model.dat");
$detected_faces = $fd->detect("image.jpg");
// $detected_face is indexed array, where values are assoc arrays with "top", "bottom", "left" and "right" values
```
CNN model can get you slightly better results, but is much, much more demanding (CPU and memory, GPU is also preferred).
#### face landmark detection
```php
<?php
// face landmark detection
$landmarks = dlib_face_landmark_detection("~/a.jpg");
var_dump($landmarks);
```
Additionally, you can also use class-based approach:
```php
$rect = array("left"=>value, "top"=>value, "right"=>value, "bottom"=>value);
// You can download a trained facial shape predictor from:
// http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_5_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
$fld = new FaceLandmarkDetection("path/to/shape/predictor/model");
$parts = $fld->detect("path/to/image.jpg", $rect);
// $parts is integer array where keys are associative values with "x" and "y" for keys
```
Note that, if you use class-based approach, you need to feed bounding box rectangle with values obtained from `dlib_face_detection`. If you use `dlib_face_landmark_detection`, everything is already done for you (and you are using HOG face detection model).
#### face recognition (aka getting face descriptor)
```php
<?php
$fr = new FaceRecognition($model_path);
$landmarks = array(
"rect" => $rect_of_faces_obtained_with_CnnFaceDetection,
"parts" => $parts_obtained_with_FaceLandmarkDetection);
$descriptor = $fr->computeDescriptor($img_path, $landmarks);
// $descriptor is 128D array
```
#### chinese whispers
Provides raw access to dlib's `chinese_whispers` function.
Client need to build and provide edges. Edges are provided
as numeric array. Each element of this array should also be
numeric array with 2 elements of long type.
Returned value is also numeric array, containing obtained labels.
```php
<?php
// This example will cluster nodes 0 and 1, but would leave 2 out.
// $labels will look like [0,0,1].
$edges = [[0,0], [0,1], [1,1], [2,2]];
$labels = dlib_chinese_whispers($edges);
```
