Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all facemark models.

To utilize this API in your program, please take a look at the Tutorial on Facial Landmark Detector API

Description

Facemark is a base class which provides universal access to any specific facemark algorithm. Therefore, the users should declare a desired algorithm before they can use it in their application.

Here is an example on how to declare a facemark algorithm:

// Using Facemark in your code:
Ptr<Facemark> facemark = createFacemarkLBF();

The typical pipeline for facemark detection is as follows:

• Load the trained model using Facemark::loadModel.
• Perform the fitting on an image via Facemark::fit.

Member Function Documentation

fit()

virtual bool cv::face::Facemark::fit ( InputArray  image, InputArray  faces, OutputArrayOfArrays  landmarks  )

pure virtual

Python:
	retval, landmarks	=	cv.face_Facemark.fit(	image, faces[, landmarks]	)

Detect facial landmarks from an image.

Parameters

image	Input image.
faces	Output of the function which represent region of interest of the detected faces. Each face is stored in cv::Rect container.
landmarks	The detected landmark points for each faces.

Example of usage

Mat image = imread("image.jpg");
std::vector<Rect> faces;
std::vector<std::vector<Point2f> > landmarks;
facemark->fit(image, faces, landmarks);

loadModel()

virtual void cv::face::Facemark::loadModel ( String  model )

pure virtual

Python:
	None	=	cv.face_Facemark.loadModel(	model	)

A function to load the trained model before the fitting process.

Parameters

model

A string represent the filename of a trained model.

Example of usage

facemark->loadModel("../data/lbf.model");
