CAPA - Craniofacial Analysis & Prediction Architecture SDK

CAPA SDK

Craniofacial Analysis & Prediction Architecture

A Python SDK for advanced craniofacial analysis based on 15+ peer-reviewed scientific papers.

Features

• WD Analysis: Bizygomatic width measurement and classification
• Forehead Analysis: Frontal inclination angle measurement
• Morphology Analysis: Face shape classification and facial proportions
• Neoclassical Canons: Classical facial proportion analysis
• Multi-Angle Support: Combine results from multiple images
• Quality Control: Adaptive quality assessment and validation

Installation

pip install capa-sdk

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/yarel2l/capa-sdk.git
cd capa-sdk
pip install -e .

Dependencies

• Python 3.9+
• OpenCV
• dlib
• MediaPipe
• face-recognition
• scikit-learn
• scipy
• numpy
• Pillow
• matplotlib

Required Model File

Download the dlib 68-point facial landmark model:

wget http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
bzip2 -d shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

Quick Start

from capa import CoreAnalyzer

# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = CoreAnalyzer()

# Analyze an image
result = analyzer.analyze_image("photo.jpg")

# Access results
if result.wd_result:
    print(f"WD Value: {result.wd_result.wd_value:.3f}")
    print(f"Classification: {result.wd_result.primary_classification.value}")

if result.forehead_result:
    print(f"Forehead Angle: {result.forehead_result.forehead_geometry.slant_angle_degrees:.1f}")

if result.morphology_result:
    print(f"Face Shape: {result.morphology_result.shape_classification.primary_shape.value}")

# Always shutdown when done
analyzer.shutdown()

Analysis Modes

from capa import CoreAnalyzer, AnalysisConfiguration, AnalysisMode

config = AnalysisConfiguration(
    mode=AnalysisMode.STANDARD,  # FAST, STANDARD, THOROUGH, SCIENTIFIC
    enable_wd_analysis=True,
    enable_forehead_analysis=True,
    enable_morphology_analysis=True,
)

analyzer = CoreAnalyzer(config=config)

Multi-Angle Analysis

from capa import MultiAngleAnalyzer, AngleSpecification

analyzer = MultiAngleAnalyzer()

angle_specs = [
    AngleSpecification(angle_type='frontal', image_path='front.jpg'),
    AngleSpecification(angle_type='profile', image_path='side.jpg'),
]

result = analyzer.analyze_multiple_angles(
    angle_specs=angle_specs,
    subject_id="subject_001"
)

print(f"Combined Confidence: {result.combined_confidence*100:.1f}%")
analyzer.shutdown()

Using Individual Modules

from capa.modules import WDAnalyzer, ForeheadAnalyzer, MorphologyAnalyzer
import cv2

image = cv2.imread("photo.jpg")

# WD Analysis only
wd_analyzer = WDAnalyzer()
wd_result = wd_analyzer.analyze(image)

# Forehead Analysis only
forehead_analyzer = ForeheadAnalyzer()
forehead_result = forehead_analyzer.analyze(image)

# Morphology Analysis only
morphology_analyzer = MorphologyAnalyzer()
morphology_result = morphology_analyzer.analyze(image)

Scientific Foundation

CAPA is built on 15+ peer-reviewed scientific papers. All referenced papers are included in the data/ folder for easy access.
