cypico (Updated)

A Cython wrapping of the pico face detection project.

Please see the LICENSE.md file for information on the licensing.

Specific Changes in this Fork

Solves many of the TODOs mentioned in the original cypico package

1. Supports loading a cascade into memory at runtime (refer to load_cascade method)
2. Processes and returns correct orientations
3. Splits out the remove_overlap() method for additional clarity
4. Supports the use of multiple cascades (see documentation in code) within the same installation

Installation

Install using Python:

python(3) setup.py build_ext --inplace

Then,

(sudo) python(3) setup.py install

If using python3, run both commands in python3 to avoid Cython build errors

Installing New Models

Loading cascades into memory at runtime function now supports loading the models directly from the output models from Cypico! (Woo)!

First use bin2hex (included) to convert model generated from standard pico implementation: https://github.com/nenadmarkus/pico - current commit: 45564fc 16 Nov 2016

Alternatively, you can also use: http://tomeko.net/online_tools/file_to_hex.php?lang=en

Place new cascade(s) (save with extension .hex) in the cypico directory and change pico_wrapper.h to point to new cascade(s) as required.

Reinstall cypico as above!
