Projektseminar Kooperationstechnologie - Gesichtserkennung mit OpenCV und JavaCV Instructions

1. Prerequisites

   • Download and install OpenCV 3.0 from http://opencv.org include native library (e.g., opencv/build/java/x64) in the java native library path

   • Download and install JavaCV from https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv

   • the database of known faces is below faces/

   • the collection of example pictures for a person is in a subdirectory with the person's name, e.g. faces/Christian Rathke/image-0.png, faces/Christian Rathke/image-1.png, ...

2. Operation

   • run "java 'args' de.hdm.faceCapture.FaceRecogApp" on the command line replacing 'args' by

     1. -classpath FaceRecognizer.jar;FaceRecognizer_lib and
     2. -Djava.library.path=lib/x64 -DCaptureDevice=0

   • the capture device no. may need to be adapted (eg., 1, 2, 3,...)

   • a person's database of example pictures may be augmented by directly taking his picture from the camera or by importing and saving it from an image which contains his face

   • each time a picture is added the face recognizer is retrained with all of the existing pictures
