Python face filters

Uses image recognition to detect landmarks on a face and apply a few filters

How to use

After launching the program you can change the filter by pressing mouse left button (next) or mouse right button (previous)

Dependencies

• OpenCv
• dlib

pip install opencv-python
pip install dlib

Uses the shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat from https://github.com/italojs/facial-landmarks-recognition/blob/master/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

Important sidenotes

1. Both the landmarks.dat file and the video.mp4 file (if used) must be on the same root folder along with the filters.py file

2. To change from camera to video the following lines must be changed on lines 13 - 15:

from...

# starting video / opening webcam
# cap = cv2.VideoCapture("video.mp4")
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

to...

# starting video / opening webcam
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("video.mp4")
# cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

where "video.mp4" is the name of the file between quotation marks
