Detailed Description

Abstract base class for trainable facemark models.

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

Description

The AAM and LBF facemark models in OpenCV are derived from the abstract base class FacemarkTrain, which provides a unified access to those facemark algorithms in OpenCV.

Here is an example on how to declare facemark algorithm:

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

The typical pipeline for facemark detection is listed as follows:

Member Function Documentation

§ addTrainingSample()

virtual bool cv::face::FacemarkTrain::addTrainingSample ( InputArray  image,
InputArray  landmarks 
)
pure virtual

Add one training sample to the trainer.

Parameters
imageInput image.
landmarksThe ground-truth of facial landmarks points corresponds to the image.

Example of usage

String imageFiles = "../data/images_train.txt";
String ptsFiles = "../data/points_train.txt";
std::vector<String> images_train;
std::vector<String> landmarks_train;
// load the list of dataset: image paths and landmark file paths
loadDatasetList(imageFiles,ptsFiles,images_train,landmarks_train);
Mat image;
std::vector<Point2f> facial_points;
for(size_t i=0;i<images_train.size();i++){
image = imread(images_train[i].c_str());
loadFacePoints(landmarks_train[i],facial_points);
facemark->addTrainingSample(image, facial_points);
}

The contents in the training files should follows the standard format. Here are examples for the contents in these files. example of content in the images_train.txt

§ getData()

virtual bool cv::face::FacemarkTrain::getData ( void *  items = 0)
pure virtual

Get data from an algorithm.

Parameters
itemsThe obtained data, algorithm dependent.

Example of usage

Ptr<FacemarkAAM> facemark = FacemarkAAM::create();
facemark->loadModel("AAM.yml");
FacemarkAAM::Data data;
facemark->getData(&data);
std::vector<Point2f> s0 = data.s0;
cout<<s0<<endl;

§ getFaces()

virtual bool cv::face::FacemarkTrain::getFaces ( InputArray  image,
OutputArray  faces 
)
pure virtual

Detect faces from a given image using default or user defined face detector. Some Algorithm might not provide a default face detector.

Parameters
imageInput image.
facesOutput of the function which represent region of interest of the detected faces. Each face is stored in cv::Rect container.

Example of usage

std::vector<cv::Rect> faces;
facemark->getFaces(img, faces);
for(int j=0;j<faces.size();j++){
cv::rectangle(img, faces[j], cv::Scalar(255,0,255));
}

§ setFaceDetector()

virtual bool cv::face::FacemarkTrain::setFaceDetector ( FN_FaceDetector  detector,
void *  userData = 0 
)
pure virtual

Set a user defined face detector for the Facemark algorithm.

Parameters
detectorThe user defined face detector function
userDataDetector parameters

Example of usage

MyDetectorParameters detectorParameters(...);
facemark->setFaceDetector(myDetector, &detectorParameters);

Example of a user defined face detector

bool myDetector( InputArray image, OutputArray faces, void* userData)
{
MyDetectorParameters* params = (MyDetectorParameters*)userData;
// -------- do something --------
}

TODO Lifetime of detector parameters is uncontrolled. Rework interface design to "Ptr<FaceDetector>".

§ training()

virtual void cv::face::FacemarkTrain::training ( void *  parameters = 0)
pure virtual

Trains a Facemark algorithm using the given dataset. Before the training process, training samples should be added to the trainer using face::addTrainingSample function.

Parameters
parametersOptional extra parameters (algorithm dependent).

Example of usage

FacemarkLBF::Params params;
params.model_filename = "ibug68.model"; // filename to save the trained model
Ptr<Facemark> facemark = FacemarkLBF::create(params);
// add training samples (see Facemark::addTrainingSample)
facemark->training();
