You can see demo for more details.

General usage

We recommend to use FaceService for integrating all face models.

import capybara as cb
import pyface as pf

face_service = pf.FaceService(
    batch_size=1,
    enable_recognition=True,
    enable_depth=True,
    enable_landmark=True,
    face_bank='path/to/face_bank',
    recog_level='High',
    detect_kwargs={"gpu_id": 0, "backend": "cuda"}, # if you want to use GPU on detection
    landmark_kwargs={"backend": "cpu"}, # if you want to use CPU on landmark
    ...
)
img = cb.imread('path/to/image')
faces_on_img = face_service([img])[0]
# Plotted faces on image
cb.imwrite('path/to/output', faces_on_img.gen_info_img())
