FaceSDK provides the FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures function to detect facial features in an image and the FSDK_DetectEyes function to detect just eye centers in an image. First, these functions detect a frontal face in an image, and then detect its facial features or only eye centers. The FSDK_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion and FSDK_DetectEyesInRegion functions do not perform the face detection step and detect facial features or eye centers in a region returned by FSDK_DetectFace or FSDK_DetectMultipleFaces.
The FSDK_DetectEyes function works much faster than FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures and is recommended for real-time applications.
The facial features are stored in the FSDK_Features data structure. FSDK_Features is an array data type containing FSDK_FACIAL_FEATURE_COUNT points. The list of facial features recognized by FaceSDK is available in the Detected Facial Features chapter.
Eye centers are saved to FSDK_Features[0] and FSDK_Features[1]. The FSDK_DetectEyes and FSDK_DetectEyesInRegion functions do not change other elements of the FSDK_Features array.
C++ Declaration:
typedef struct { int x,y; } TPoint;
typedef TPoint FSDK_Features [FSDK_FACIAL_FEATURE_COUNT];
C# Declaration:
public struct TPoint {
public int x, y;
}
Delphi Declaration:
TPoint = record
x, y: integer;
end;
FSDK_Features = array[0..FSDK_FACIAL_FEATURE_COUNT - 1] of TPoint;
PFSDK_Features = ^FSDK_Features;
VB Declaration:
Type TPoint
x As Long
y As Long
End Type
FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures Function
Detects a frontal face in an image and detects its facial features.
C++ Syntax:
int FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures(HImage Image, FSDK_Features* FacialFeatures);
Delphi Syntax:
function FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures(Image: HImage; FacialFeatures: PFSDK_Features): integer;
C# Syntax:
int FSDK.DetectFacialFeatures(UInt32 Image, FSDK.TPoint[] FacialFeatures);
VB Syntax:
Function FSDKVB_DetectFacialFeatures(ByVal Image As Long, ByRef FacialFeatures As TPoint) As Long
Parameters:
Image– handle of the image facial features should be detected in.
FacialFeatures– pointer to the FSDK_Features array for receiving the detected facial features.
Return Value:
Returns FSDKE_OK if successful.
Example
int img1;
FSDK_Features Features;
FSDK_Initialize("");
FSDK_LoadImageFromFile(&img1, "test.jpg");
FSDK_DetectFacialFeatures(img1, Features);
printf("Left eye location: (%d, %d)\n", Features[FSDKP_LEFT_EYE].x, Features[FSDKP_LEFT_EYE].y);
printf("Right eye location: (%d, %d)\n", Features[FSDKP_RIGHT_EYE].y, Features[FSDKP_RIGHT_EYE].y);
FSDK_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion Function
Detects facial features in an image region returned by FSDK_DetectFace or FSDK_DetectMultipleFaces. This function can be useful if an approximate face size is known, or to detect facial features of a specific face returned by FSDK_DetectMultipleFaces.
C++ Syntax:
int FSDK_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion(HImage Image, TFacePosition* FacePosition, FSDK_Features* FacialFeatures);
Delphi Syntax:
function FSDK_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion(Image: HImage; FacePosition: PFacePosition; FacialFeatures: PFSDK_Features): integer;
C# Syntax:
int FSDK.DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion(UInt32 Image, ref FSDK.TFacePosition FacePosition, FSDK.TPoint[] FacialFeatures);
VB Syntax:
Function FSDKVB_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion(ByVal Image As Long, ByRef FacePosition As TFacePosition, ByRef FacialFeatures As TPoint) As Long
Parameters:
Image– handle of the image facial features should be detected in.
FacePosition– pointer to the face position structure.
FacialFeatures– pointer to the FSDK_Features array for receiving the detected facial features.
Return Value:
Returns FSDKE_OK if successful.
Example
int i, DetectedCount, img1;
FSDK_Features Features;
TFacePosition FaceArray[50];
FSDK_Initialize("");
FSDK_LoadImageFromFile(&img1, "test.jpg");
FSDK_DetectMultipleFaces(img1, &DetectedCount , FaceArray, sizeof(FaceArray));
for (i = 0; i < DetectedCount; i++) {
FSDK_DetectFacialFeaturesInRegion(img1, FaceArray[i], Features);
printf("Left eye location: (%d, %d)\n", Features[FSDKP_LEFT_EYE].x, Features[FSDKP_LEFT_EYE].y);
printf("Right eye location: (%d, %d)\n", Features[FSDKP_RIGHT_EYE].x, Features[FSDKP_RIGHT_EYE].y);
}
FSDK_DetectEyes Function
Detects a frontal face in an image and detects its eye centers.
C++ Syntax:
int FSDK_DetectEyes(HImage Image, FSDK_Features* FacialFeatures);
Delphi Syntax:
function FSDK_DetectEyes(Image: HImage; FacialFeatures: PFSDK_Features): integer;
C# Syntax:
int FSDK.DetectEyes(UInt32 Image, FSDK.TPoint[] FacialFeatures);
VB Syntax:
Function FSDKVB_DetectEyes (ByVal Image As Long, ByRef FacialFeatures As TPoint) As Long
Parameters:
Image– handle of the image eye centers should be detected in.
FacialFeatures– pointer to the FSDK_Features array for receiving the detected eye centers.
Return Value:
Returns FSDKE_OK if successful.
FSDK_DetectEyesInRegion Function
Detects eye centers in an image region returned by FSDK_DetectFace or FSDK_DetectMultipleFaces.
C++ Syntax:
int FSDK_DetectEyesInRegion(HImage Image, TFacePosition* FacePosition, FSDK_Features* FacialFeatures);
Delphi Syntax:
function FSDK_DetectEyesInRegion(Image: HImage; FacePosition: PFacePosition; FacialFeatures: PFSDK_Features): integer;
C# Syntax:
int FSDK.DetectEyesInRegion(UInt32 Image, ref FSDK.TFacePosition FacePosition, FSDK.TPoint[] FacialFeatures);
VB Syntax:
Function FSDKVB_DetectEyesInRegion(ByVal Image As Long, ByRef FacePosition As TFacePosition, ByRef FacialFeatures As TPoint) As Long
Parameters:
Image– handle of the image eye centers should be detected in.
FacePosition– pointer to the face position structure.
FacialFeatures– pointer to the FSDK_Features array for receiving the detected eye centers.
Return Value:
Returns FSDKE_OK if successful.
