Face Data

A macOS application used to auto-annotate landmarks from a video. Those landmarks can further be used as training data for Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).

Getting Started

Installing

You can either download the binary file from Rease or build the source code using Xcode.

Use

	Description
Video Path	Path to the video file, currently only support `.mp4` files. Use `Select File` to generate path using a file browsing panel.
Output Path	Path to the output directory, this app will create `origin` and `landmarks` two sub-directories. Use `Select Folder` to generate path using a file browsing panel.
Start Second	An integer value indicating from which second to start capturing frames from the video, default is 0 (from the beginning)
End Second	This app would not extract frames after this second. Default is the duration of the video.
# of Frames	Integer value of how many frames you want to generate. Default is 100 frames.
Start	Start the process.
Cancel	Stop the process.

Output

Two sub-directories origin and landmark will be created in the specified output directory.
origin contains the original frames extracted from the video, with file name: img001.png.
landmark contains the landmark image drawn based on the corresponding frame in origin, with file name: img001lm.png.
If there is no face detected in one original frame, the corresponding file name in landmark is no_face_img001lm.png.

Output Images Processing

You will probably want to process the generated images to fit the size restriction for you GANs model. You can refer the Python script crop.py.

Built With

Apple Vision Library - Easy to reproduce the landmarks in iOS devices
Apple AV Foundation - Also use lower level image format (CGImage) to make codes portable to Cocoa Touch
