facefrontalisation

This code implements a face frontalisation method given the landmarks This is the python code as a re-implementation of the matlab code from: http://www.openu.ac.il/home/hassner/projects/frontalize/ Tal Hassner, Shai Harel*, Eran Paz* and Roee Enbar, Effective Face Frontalization in Unconstrained Images, IEEE Conf. on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), Boston, June 2015 The algorithm credit belongs to them.

I implement it as I dislike reading matlab code--you In order to make the code run you need:

1. compile the dlib python code: http://dlib.net/

2. download the shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat file from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dclib/files/dlib/v18.10/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2

3. install python dependencies

facefrontalisation's Issues

Problem when loading pickle file with Python 3.4

Hello Yang,
I got this error when runing the code with Python 3.4:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "facefrontal.py", line 143, in
fronter = frontalizer('ref3d.pkl')
File "facefrontal.py", line 41, in init
ref = pkl.load(f)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

Could you upload a new version of pickle file ref3d.pkl for Python 3.x. Thank you.

Port for python 3

Hi, could you port this code for python 3 usage?

Why does the framework differ when using different image formats?

I don't fully understand why, but when using .png format, the frontalization doesn't work. Nevertheless, when converting the same image with gimp to .jpg, the frontalization works great.

For instance, when using this:

Throws error name 'det' is not defined, mainly because dlib's face detector doesn't detect any faces and the loop in the main method of facefrontal.py is not executed.

When using the same image in .jpg format:

The output is correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dani

Sample test image

Hi,

Can you give the instructions to use this code on a sample test image ??
How to generate ref3d.pkl for a new image?

Thanks
