Hacking Pleo for face recognition and remote control. Facial Tracking Platform. CyWee’s facial tracking platform uses an ordinary 2D camera to capture 66 points on the face and generate a 3D avatar mask, which bring life to any image.

Facial Tracking Platform

CyWee’s Facial Tracking solution can be deployed on any device that uses a standard webcam. Using patented tracking algorithms, CyWee’s facial tracking technology maps the position of key feature points on a face. This allows the real-time tracking of facial features and any changes to the user’s facial expression. Sample Facial Tracking Applications: Emotional state data collectionAvatar animation and manipulationIdentify protection for gaming3D gaming and video conferencing The CyWee Facial Tracking SDK is powerful tool for developers to start building next generation applications that require highly accurate tracking and can run on standard 2D webcams and mobile device cameras.

Implementing Face Detection in Android. Camera. The Android framework includes support for various cameras and camera features available on devices, allowing you to capture pictures and videos in your applications.

Camera

This document discusses a quick, simple approach to image and video capture and outlines an advanced approach for creating custom camera experiences for your users. Considerations Before enabling your application to use cameras on Android devices, you should consider a few questions about how your app intends to use this hardware feature. Camera.Face. Class Overview Information about a face identified through camera face detection.

Camera.Face

When face detection is used with a camera, the Camera.FaceDetectionListener returns a list of face objects for use in focusing and metering. Summary Fields public int id An unique id per face while the face is visible to the tracker. Public Point leftEye. Www.eecg.toronto.edu/~jayar/pubs/theses/Mccready/RobertMccready.pdf. Xplore Abstract - Face-recognition hardware implementation based on SOPC. Facial recognition system. A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source.

Facial recognition system

One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database. It is typically used in security systems and can be compared to other biometrics such as fingerprint or eye iris recognition systems.[1] Techniques[edit] Traditional[edit] Some facial recognition algorithms identify facial features by extracting landmarks, or features, from an image of the subject's face.

Recognition algorithms can be divided into two main approaches, geometric, which looks at distinguishing features, or photometric, which is a statistical approach that distills an image into values and compares the values with templates to eliminate variances. 3-dimensional recognition[edit] A newly emerging trend, claimed to achieve improved accuracies, is three-dimensional face recognition. Skin texture analysis[edit] Php - Alternatives to face.com API. List of face detection API, library and softwares. Since Google glasses are around with face recognition technology, there has been a lot of controversies.

We believe that, whether or not through smart glasses this technoloty will interact with interpersonal relationships or even open up countless possibilities. Here is the compiled list of all face recognition software, API and libraries written in different languages like C++, python, java and have support for variety of technologies. List of 50+ Face Detection / Recognition APIs, libraries, and software. Facebook New Facial Recognition to Have 'Near-Human Accuracy' It's easy for humans to identify faces in pictures on Facebook, but the method isn't as simple for computers.

Facebook New Facial Recognition to Have 'Near-Human Accuracy'

Sure, Facebook has a suggested prompt that predicts who you're trying to tag, but now the company is working on a technology that promises "near-human accuracy" so you won't have to do it yourself in the future. Facebook's API Group is developing software called DeepFace, which maps 3D facial features and creates a colorless model to narrow in on specific characterizations. The accuracy of the method is 97.25%, which is just under the 97.5% accuracy that a human can identify, according to the group. "We present a system (DeepFace) that has closed the majority of the remaining gap in the most popular benchmark in unconstrained face recognition, and is now at the brink of human level accuracy," researchers said in a report released by Facebook API Group.

To develop the technology, Facebook looked at 4.4 million tagged faces from 4,030 of its users. Facebook Creates Software That Matches Faces Almost as Well as You Do. Asked whether two unfamiliar photos of faces show the same person, a human being will get it right 97.53 percent of the time.

Facebook Creates Software That Matches Faces Almost as Well as You Do

New software developed by researchers at Facebook can score 97.25 percent on the same challenge, regardless of variations in lighting or whether the person in the picture is directly facing the camera. That’s a significant advance over previous face-matching software, and it demonstrates the power of a new approach to artificial intelligence known as deep learning, which Facebook and its competitors have bet heavily on in the past year (see “Deep Learning”). This area of AI involves software that uses networks of simulated neurons to learn to recognize patterns in large amounts of data.

“You normally don’t see that sort of improvement,” says Yaniv Taigman, a member of Facebook’s AI team, a research group created last year to explore how deep learning might help the company (see “Facebook Launches Advanced AI Effort”).
