JujuDel/FaceDetection-Recognition

Detect, extract, align and recognizes faces

Facial Detection & Recognition tool

This tool uses dlib and OpenCV to detect faces, extract them and recognizes them.

It is divided into two parts:

• Facial Detection & Extraction & Aligment
• Facial Recognition

A - Facial Detection & Extraction & Aligment

Two scripts are availables here:

1. myStaticFacialDetector.py which detects faces and computes facial landemarks on images ;
2. myWebcamFacialAligment.py, the main script here, which:
   • Launch the webcam ;
   • Detect the faces ;
   • Compute the facial landemarks ;
   • Extract the faces ;
   • Align the extracted faces and display them.

Dependencies

import dlib
import cv2
import math
import numpy as np

How-to launch

> python myWebcamFacialAlignement.py

B - Facial Recognition

The script myWebcamFacialRecognition.py uses the previous face detection and recognize the faces within a dataset. You can use one or more images per faces, the algorithm will just output the name with the highest similarities.

Add a new person to recognize

To add a new face in the dataset, add the corresponding .jpg file in the data/images/knownFaces/ folder:
