# This example program shows how to find frontal human faces in an image. In
# particular, it shows how you can take a list of images from the command
# line and display each on the screen with red boxes overlaid on each human
# face.
#
# The examples/faces folder contains some jpg images of people. You can run
# this program on them and see the detections by executing the
# following command:
# ./face_detector.py ../examples/faces/*.jpg
#
# This face detector is made using the now classic Histogram of Oriented
# Gradients (HOG) feature combined with a linear classifier, an image
# pyramid, and sliding window detection scheme. This type of object detector
# is fairly general and capable of detecting many types of semi-rigid objects
# in addition to human faces. Therefore, if you are interested in making
# your own object detectors then read the train_object_detector.py example
# program.

#
# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
# You can install dlib using the command:
# pip install dlib
#
# Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib
# root folder and run:
# python setup.py install
#
# Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have
# CMake installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the
# command:
# sudo apt-get install cmake
#
# Also note that this example requires Numpy which can be installed
# via the command:
# pip install numpy
import sys
import dlib
detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()
win = dlib.image_window()
for f in sys.argv[1:]:
print("Processing file: {}".format(f))
img = dlib.load_rgb_image(f)
# The 1 in the second argument indicates that we should upsample the image
# 1 time. This will make everything bigger and allow us to detect more
# faces.
dets = detector(img, 1)
print("Number of faces detected: {}".format(len(dets)))
for i, d in enumerate(dets):
print("Detection {}: Left: {} Top: {} Right: {} Bottom: {}".format(
i, d.left(), d.top(), d.right(), d.bottom()))
win.clear_overlay()
win.set_image(img)
win.add_overlay(dets)
dlib.hit_enter_to_continue()
# Finally, if you really want to you can ask the detector to tell you the score
# for each detection. The score is bigger for more confident detections.
# The third argument to run is an optional adjustment to the detection threshold,
# where a negative value will return more detections and a positive value fewer.
# Also, the idx tells you which of the face sub-detectors matched. This can be
# used to broadly identify faces in different orientations.
