Detailed Description

The vpDetectorFace class is a wrapper over OpenCV Haar cascade face detection capabilities. To use this class ViSP should be build against OpenCV 2.2.0 or a more recent version. Installation instructions are provided here https://visp.inria.fr/3rd_opencv.

The following sample code shows how to use this class to detect the largest face in the image. The cascade classifier file "haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml" can be found in ViSP source code or in OpenCV.

#include <visp3/detection/vpDetectorFace.h>
int main()
{
  vpImage<unsigned char> I;
  vpDetectorFace face_detector;
  face_detector.setCascadeClassifierFile("haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml");
  while(1) {
    // acquire a new image in I
    bool face_found = face_detector.track(I);
    if (face_found) {
      vpRect face_bbox = face_detector.getBoundingBox(0); // largest face has index 0
    }
  }
}

A more complete example that works with images acquired from a camera is provided in tutorial-face-detector-live.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

bool vpDetectorFace::detect ( const vpImage< unsigned char > & I )

virtual

Allows to detect a face in the image. When more than one face is detected, faces are sorted from largest to smallest.

Parameters

I	: Input image to process. This ViSP image is converted internally in an OpenCV cv::Mat image. If you original image is an gray level OpenCV image, we suggest rather the use of detect(const cv::Mat &).

Returns: true if one or more faces are found, false otherwise.

The number of detected faces is returned using getNbObjects(). If a face is found the functions getBBox(), getCog() return some information about the location of the face.

The largest face is always available using getBBox(0) or getCog(0).

See Also: detect(const cv::Mat &)

Implements vpDetectorBase.

Examples:: tutorial-face-detector-live-threaded.cpp, tutorial-face-detector-live.cpp, and tutorial-face-detector.cpp.

bool vpDetectorFace::detect ( const cv::Mat & frame_gray )

Allows to detect a face in the image. When more than one face is detected, faces are sorted from largest to smallest.

Parameters

frame_gray : Input gray level image to process.

Returns: true if one or more faces are found, false otherwise.

The number of detected faces is returned using getNbObjects(). If a face is found the functions getBBox(), getCog() return some information about the location of the face.

The largest face is always available using getBBox(0) or getCog(0).
