State-of-the-art face detection and landmarks localization

Project description

Face Detector

This python package provides state-of-the-art face detection as well as face landmark points localization. It gathers the techniques implemented in dlib and mtcnn[], which can be easily switched between by setting a parameter in the FaceDetector class instantiation (mtcnn is default if no technique is specified, use fl_5 for dlib with 5 landmarks and fl_68 for dlib with 68 landmarks).

How to Install:

pip install face-detector

How to Use:

from face_detector import FaceDetector

img_addr = "path/to/image.[jpg/png/jpeg ...]"

# First parameter in FaceDetector constructor specifies face detection method (dlib: fl_5 or fl_68, mtcnn is default: mtcnn)
face_detector = FaceDetector()
faces = face_detector.get_faces(img_addr)

# Or to get the most prominent face in photo
main_face = face_detector.get_main_face(img_addr)

# Show image with bounding boxes and landmarks
import cv2
img = cv2.imread(img_addr)

for face in faces:
   bb = face.bounding_box
   landmarks = face.landmarks
   cv2.rectangle(img, (int(bb.x), int(bb.y)), (int(bb.x + bb.w), int(bb.y+bb.h)), (0, 255, 0), 1)
   for l in landmarks:
        cv2.circle(img, (l.x, l.y), 2, (0,0,255))

    cv2.imshow('img', img)
    cv2.waitKey(0)
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
