人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測是人臉檢測過程中的一個重要環(huán)節(jié)。以往我們采用的方法是OpenCV或者Dlib,雖然Dlib優(yōu)于OpenCV,但是檢測出的68個點(diǎn)并沒有覆蓋額頭區(qū)域。Reddit一位網(wǎng)友便在此基礎(chǔ)上做了進(jìn)一步研究,能夠檢測出81個面部特征點(diǎn),使得準(zhǔn)確度有所提高。

或許,這就是你需要的人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測方法。

人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測(Facial landmark detection)是人臉檢測過程中的一個重要環(huán)節(jié)。是在人臉檢測的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行的,對人臉上的特征點(diǎn)例如嘴角、眼角等進(jìn)行定位。

近日,Reddit一位網(wǎng)友po出一個帖子,表示想與社區(qū)同胞們分享自己的一點(diǎn)研究成果:

其主要的工作就是在人臉檢測Dlib庫68個特征點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上,增加了13個特征點(diǎn)(共81個),使得頭部檢測和圖像操作更加精確。

現(xiàn)在來看一下demo:

81個特征點(diǎn),人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測更加精準(zhǔn)

以往我們在做人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測的時候,通常會用OpenCV來進(jìn)行操作。

但自從人臉檢測Dlib庫問世,網(wǎng)友們紛紛表示:好用!Dlib≥OpenCV!Dlib具有更多的人臉識別模型,可以檢測臉部68甚至更多的特征點(diǎn)。

我們來看一下Dlib的效果:

Dlib人臉特征點(diǎn)檢測效果圖

那么這68個特征點(diǎn)又是如何分布的呢?請看下面這張“面相圖”:

人臉68個特征點(diǎn)分布

但無論是效果圖和“面相圖”,我們都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在額頭區(qū)域是沒有分布特征點(diǎn)的。

于是,網(wǎng)友便提出了一個特征點(diǎn)能夠覆蓋額頭區(qū)域的模型。

該模型是一個自定義形狀預(yù)測模型,在經(jīng)過訓(xùn)練后,可以找到任何給定圖像中的81個面部特征點(diǎn)。

它的訓(xùn)練方法類似于Dlib的68個面部特征點(diǎn)形狀預(yù)測器。只是在原有的68個特征點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上,在額頭區(qū)域增加了13個點(diǎn)。這就使得頭部的檢測,以及用于需要沿著頭部頂部的點(diǎn)的圖像操作更加精準(zhǔn)。

這13個額外的特征點(diǎn)提取的方法,是根據(jù)該博主之前的工作完成的。

該博主繼續(xù)使用Surrey Face Model,并記下了他認(rèn)為適合他工作的13個點(diǎn),并做了一些細(xì)節(jié)的修改。

當(dāng)然,博主還慷慨的分享了訓(xùn)練的代碼:

If you want to visualize the output of the 10# trained model on some images then you can run the 11# face_landmark_detection.py example program with predictor.dat as the input 12# model. 13# 14# It should also be noted that this kind of model, while often used for face 15# landmarking, is quite general and can be used for a variety of shape 16# prediction tasks. But here we demonstrate it only on a simple face 17# landmarking task. 18# 19# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE 20# You can install dlib using the command: 21# pip install dlib 22# 23# Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib 24# root folder and run: 25# python setup.py install 26# 27# Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have 28# CMake installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the 29# command: 30# sudo apt-get install cmake 31# 32# Also note that this example requires Numpy which can be installed 33# via the command: 34# pip install numpy 35 36import os 37import sys 38import glob 39 40import dlib 41 42# In this example we are going to train a face detector based on the small 43# faces dataset in the examples/faces directory.
