Face Stack

A simple command line application in Rust to create a stack of face images.

The idea was to analyze hundreds of my face pictures, creating an amalgamation of it to be used as a profile picture. See this blog post for more details.

Unless you're debugging something, I recommend running with --release so everything is faster.

Run: cargo run --release
Run with parameters: cargo run --release -- --input /something/*.jpg --size 1024x1024 --face-scale 0.5 --opacity 0.9 --seed 123 --output result.jpg --crop-width 50% --crop-height 60% --blending-mode screen --max-images 10
See basic parameters: cargo run --release -- --help

Some properties accept multiple values, with weights.

--opacity: accepts a value like 0.9, a range like 0.7-0.8, and multiple values/ranges like 0.5 0.6 0.8-0.9, including with weights, like 0.5@10 0.6 (0.5 is 10 times more likely to be picked than 0.6)
--crop-width and --crop-height: accepts a value like 0 (for pixels), a value like 50% (for percentage), a range (mixed or not) like 10-50%, and multiple values/ranges (also with weights) like 20 30 10%-500@2
--blending-mode: accepts a value like normal, overlay, etc, and multiple values (with or without weights) like screen multiply@2 hard-light@10
