ADVANCES IN HUMAN

FACE DETECTION AND

SEGMENTATION
TECHNIQUES FOR FACIAL
FEATURE ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTIO
N
This presentation focuses on the
advancements in human face
detection and segmentation
techniques for facial feature
analysis. The ability to
automatically detect and
segment facial features has
important applications in many
fields, including security,
entertainment, and healthcare.
TRADITIONAL
APPROACHES

Traditional approaches to face

detection and segmentation relied
on hand-crafted features and rule-
based methods. These methods
were often inaccurate and required
significant human intervention.
However, with the advent of deep
learning, new approaches have
emerged that are much more
accurate and require less human
intervention.
DEEP LEARNING
TECHNIQUES
Deep learning techniques, such as
convolutional neural networks (CNNs),
have revolutionized face detection and
segmentation. CNNs can learn features
automatically from large datasets and
can accurately detect and segment
facial features. These techniques have
been applied to various fields, including
facial recognition, emotion recognition,
and even medical diagnosis.
For the dlib facial recognition network, the output feature vector is 128-d (i.e., a list of 128
real-valued numbers) that is used to quantify the face. Training the network is done
using triplets:
in order to perform face recognition with Python and OpenCV we need to install two additional
libraries:
•dlib
•face_recognition

1. # import the necessary packages
2. from imutils import paths
3. import face_recognition
4. import argparse
5. import pickle
6. import cv2
7. import os
8. # construct the argument parser and parse the arguments
9. ap = argparse.ArgumentParser()
10. ap.add_argument("-i", "--dataset", required=True,
11. help="path to input directory of faces + images")
12. ap.add_argument("-e", "--encodings", required=True,
13. help="path to serialized db of facial encodings")
14. ap.add_argument("-d", "--detection-method", type=str, default="cnn",
15.help="face detection model to use: either `hog` or `cnn`")
16.args = vars(ap.parse_args())
17.grab the paths to the input images in our dataset
18.print("[INFO] quantifying faces...")
19.imagePaths = list(paths.list_images(args["dataset"]))
20.# initialize the list of known encodings and known names
21.knownEncodings = []
22.knownNames = []
23.# loop over the image paths
24.for (i, imagePath) in enumerate(imagePaths):
25.# extract the person name from the image path
26.print("[INFO] processing image {}/{}".format(i + 1,
27.len(imagePaths)))
28.name = imagePath.split(os.path.sep)[-2]
29.# load the input image and convert it from BGR (OpenCV ordering)
30.# to dlib ordering (RGB)
31.image = cv2.imread(imagePath)
32.rgb = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB
33.# detect the (x, y)-coordinates of the bounding boxes
34.# corresponding to each face in the input image
35.boxes = face_recognition.face_locations(rgb,
36.model=args["detection_method"])
37.# compute the facial embedding for the face
38.encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb, boxes)
39.# loop over the encodings
40.for encoding in encodings:
41.# add each encoding + name to our set of known names and
42.# encodings
43.knownEncodings.append(encoding)
44.knownNames.append(name)
45.# dump the facial encodings + names to disk
46.print("[INFO] serializing encodings...")
47.data = {"encodings": knownEncodings, "names": knownNames}
48.f = open(args["encodings"], "wb")
49.f.write(pickle.dumps(data))
50.f.close()
CHALLENGES AND
LIMITATIONS

Despite the success of deep learning

techniques, there are still challenges
and limitations. One challenge is
occlusion, where facial features are
partially or com pletely covered.
Another challenge is lighting
variations, where the lighting
conditions can affect the accuracy of
face detection and segmentation.
Additionally, there are lim itations in the
am ount and quality of available data
for training these models.
