Detect face then autocrop pictures

Question

I am trying to find an app that can detect faces in my pictures, make the detected face centered and crop 720 x 720 pixels of the picture. It is rather very time consuming &

Answer 1

facedetect

https://github.com/wavexx/facedetect is a nice Python OpenCV CLI wrapper, and I have just added that example to their README using ImageMagick:

for file in path/to/pictures/*.jpg; do
  name=$(basename "$file")
  i=0
  facedetect "$file" | while read x y w h; do
    convert "$file" -crop ${w}x${h}+${x}+${y} "path/to/faces/${name%.*}_${i}.${name##*.}"
    i=$(($i+1))
  done
done

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with thousands of (unlabeled) Facebook profile pictures, see: https://github.com/cirosantilli/art/tree/d4352a46064d156591817c4eae5199f5ac8f23be/facebook

Another available option is dlib, which is based on machine learning approaches.

import dlib
from PIL import Image
from skimage import io
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def detect_faces(image):

    # Create a face detector
    face_detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()

    # Run detector and get bounding boxes of the faces on image.
    detected_faces = face_detector(image, 1)
    face_frames = [(x.left(), x.top(),
                    x.right(), x.bottom()) for x in detected_faces]

    return face_frames

# Load image
img_path = 'test.jpg'
image = io.imread(img_path)

# Detect faces
detected_faces = detect_faces(image)

# Crop faces and plot
for n, face_rect in enumerate(detected_faces):
    face = Image.fromarray(image).crop(face_rect)
    plt.subplot(1, len(detected_faces), n+1)
    plt.axis('off')
    plt.imshow(face)

This sounds like it might be a better question for one of the more (computer) technology focused exchanges.

That said, have you looked into something like this jquery face detection script? I don't know how savvy you are, but it is one option that is OS independent.

This solution also looks promising, but would require Windows.

Answer 4

the above codes work but this is recent implementation using OpenCV I was unable to run the above by the latest and found something that works (from various places)

import cv2
import os

def facecrop(image):
    facedata = "haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml"
    cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(facedata)

    img = cv2.imread(image)

    minisize = (img.shape[1],img.shape[0])
    miniframe = cv2.resize(img, minisize)

    faces = cascade.detectMultiScale(miniframe)

   for f in faces:
        x, y, w, h = [ v for v in f ]
        cv2.rectangle(img, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), (255,255,255))

        sub_face = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
        fname, ext = os.path.splitext(image)
        cv2.imwrite(fname+"_cropped_"+ext, sub_face)



    return



facecrop("1.jpg")

Answer 5

Detect face and then crop and save the cropped image into folder ..

import numpy as np
import cv2 as cv
face_cascade = cv.CascadeClassifier('./haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
#eye_cascade = cv.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_eye.xml')
img = cv.imread('./face/nancy-Copy1.jpg')
gray = cv.cvtColor(img, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5)
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
    cv.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
    roi_gray = gray[y:y+h, x:x+w]
    roi_color = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
    #eyes = eye_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
    #for (ex,ey,ew,eh) in eyes:
     #   cv.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)
    sub_face = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
    face_file_name = "face/" + str(y) + ".jpg"
    plt.imsave(face_file_name, sub_face)
plt.imshow(sub_face)

Answer 6

Autocrop worked out for me pretty well. It is as easy as autocrop -i pics -o crop -w 400 -H 400. You can get the usage in their readme file.

usage: [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-i INPUT] [-w WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT] [-v]

Automatically crops faces from batches of pictures

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  -o, --output, -p, --path
            Folder where cropped images will be placed.
            Default: current working directory
  -i, --input
            Folder where images to crop are located.
            Default: current working directory
  -w, --width
            Width of cropped files in px. Default=500
  -H, --height
            Height of cropped files in px. Default=500
  -v, --version         Show program's version number and exit
