This tool maps # an image of a human face to a 128 dimensional vector space where images of # the same person are near to each other and images from different people are # far apart. Therefore, you can perform face recognition by mapping faces to # the 128D space and then checking if their Euclidean distance is small # enough. # # When using a distance threshold of 0.6, the dlib model obtains an accuracy # of 99.38% on the standard LFW face recognition benchmark, which is # comparable to other state-of-the-art methods for face recognition as of # February 2017. This accuracy means that, when presented with a pair of face # images, the tool will correctly identify if the pair belongs to the same # person or is from different people 99.38% of the time. # # Finally, for an in-depth discussion of how dlib's tool works you should # refer to the C++ example program dnn_face_recognition_ex.cpp and the # attendant documentation referenced therein. # # # # # COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE # You can install dlib using the command: # pip install dlib # # Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib # root folder and run: # python setup.py install # or # python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS # if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some # things run faster. This code will also use CUDA if you have CUDA and cuDNN # installed. # # Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have # CMake and boost-python installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by # running the command: # sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev cmake # # Also note that this example requires scikit-image which can be installed # via the command: # pip install scikit-image # Or downloaded from http://scikit-image.org/download.html. import sys import os import dlib import glob from skimage import io if len(sys.argv) != 4: print( "Call this program like this:\n" " ./face_recognition.py shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat ../examples/faces\n" "You can download a trained facial shape predictor and recognition model from:\n" " http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2\n" " http://dlib.net/files/dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat.bz2") exit() predictor_path = sys.argv[1] face_rec_model_path = sys.argv[2] faces_folder_path = sys.argv[3] # Load all the models we need: a detector to find the faces, a shape predictor # to find face landmarks so we can precisely localize the face, and finally the # face recognition model. detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector() sp = dlib.shape_predictor(predictor_path) facerec = dlib.face_recognition_model_v1(face_rec_model_path) win = dlib.image_window() # Now process all the images for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(faces_folder_path, "*.jpg")): print("Processing file: {}".format(f)) img = io.imread(f) win.clear_overlay() win.set_image(img) # Ask the detector to find the bounding boxes of each face.

However, the 100 makes the # call 100x slower to execute, so choose whatever version you like. To # explain a little, the 3rd argument tells the code how many times to # jitter/resample the image. When you set it to 100 it executes the # face descriptor extraction 100 times on slightly modified versions of # the face and returns the average result. You could also pick a more # middle value, such as 10, which is only 10x slower but still gets an # LFW accuracy of 99.3%. dlib.hit_enter_to_continue()
