Perfect for profile picture processing for your website or batch work for ID cards, autocrop will output images centered around the biggest face detected.

## Use
From the command line:

usage: [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-i INPUT] [-w WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT] [-v]

Automatically crops faces from batches of pictures

optional arguments:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
-o, --output, -p, --path
Folder where cropped images will be placed.
Default: current working directory
-i, --input
Folder where images to crop are located.
Default: current working directory
-w, --width
Width of cropped files in px. Default=500
-H, --height
Height of cropped files in px. Default=500
--facePercent Percentage of Face height to image height (zoom factor)
--padUp Padding up value compared to padDown. Default=50
--padDown Padding down value compared to padDown. Default=50
--padLeft Padding left value compared to padRight. Default=50
--padRight Padding right value compared to padLeft. Default=50
-v, --version Show program's version number and exit


Params (width, height, facePercent)
* Example:
`autocrop -i pics -o crop -w 400 -H 400 --facePercent 50`.
* Example more padding down:
`autocrop -i pics -o crop -w 400 -H 400 --facePercent 50 --padUp 20 --padDown 50`.

### What it does
The previous command will:
1. Copy all images found in the top level of `pics` to `crop`,
2. Crop around the face and resize to 400x400 pixels all images in `crop`.

Images where a face can't be detected will be left in `crop`.
If no output folder is added, asks for confirmation and destructively crops images in-place.

## Installation
Simple! In your command line, type:

~~~python
pip install autocrop
~~~

### Gotchas
Autocrop uses OpenCV to perform face detection, which is installed through binary [wheels](http://pythonwheels.com/). If you *already* have OpenCV 3+ installed, you may wish to uninstall the additional OpenCV installation: `pip uninstall opencv-python`.

### Installing directly
In some cases, you may wish the package directly, instead of through [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi):

~~~
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/leblancfg/autocrop
cd autocrop
pip install .
~~~

### conda
Development of a `conda-forge` package for the [Anaconda Python distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/download/) is also currently slated for development. Please leave feedback on [issue #7](https://github.com/leblancfg/autocrop/issues/7) if you are insterested in helping out.

## Requirements
Best practice for your projects is of course to [use virtual environments](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/). At the very least, you will need to [have pip installed](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/).

Autocrop is currently being tested on:
* Python:
- 2.7
- 3.4
- 3.5
- 3.6
* OS:
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows

## Contributing

Although autocrop is essentially a CLI wrapper around a single OpenCV function, it is actively developed. It has active users throughout the world.
