# This example program shows how to find frontal human faces in an image. In
# particular, it shows how you can take a list of images from the command
# line and display each on the screen with red boxes overlaid on each human
# face.
#
# The examples/faces folder contains some jpg images of people. You can run
# this program on them and see the detections by executing the following command:
# ./face_detector.py ../examples/faces/*.jpg
#
# This face detector is made using the now classic Histogram of Oriented
# Gradients (HOG) feature combined with a linear classifier, an image
# pyramid, and sliding window detection scheme. This type of object detector
# is fairly general and capable of detecting many types of semi-rigid objects
# in addition to human faces. Therefore, if you are interested in making
# your own object detectors then read the train_object_detector.py example
# program.

# COMPILING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
# Dlib comes with a compiled python interface for python 2.7 on MS Windows. If
# you are using another python version or operating system then you need to
# compile the dlib python interface before you can use this file. To do this,
# run compile_dlib_python_module.bat. This 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
