face_recognition/README.md

A mirror which shows which faces are detected through three different facial detection algorithms:

• OpenCV's deep neural net face detector.
• Dlib's default frontal face detector, which is HOG based
• A Viola-Jones Haarcascade detection. Any OpenCV compatible xml file should work. It defaults to the canonical haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml.

Installation

on windows

The installation in Windows can be done, though it is quite elaborate:

• Install rustup-init
• Install VS C++
• Install python3
• Install Cmake (needed for python dlib)
  • make sure to add it to path
• Install git
  • including ssh deploy key
• git clone https://git.rubenvandeven.com/r/face_detector
• cd face_recognition
• git submodules init
• git submodules update
• pip install virtualenv
• virtualenv.exe venv
• .\venv\Scripts\activate
• cd .\dnn\face_detector
• python.exe .\download_weights.py
• cd .\visualhaar
• cargo build --lib --release
