python中使用OpenCV进行人脸检测的例子

OpenCV的人脸检测功能在一般场合还是不错的。而ubuntu正好提供了python-opencv这个包，用它可以方便地实现人脸检测的代码。

写代码之前应该先安装python-opencv：

$ sudo apt-get install python-opencv

具体原理就不多说了，可以参考一下这篇文章。直接上源码。

# Face Detection using OpenCV. Based on sample code from:

    grayscale = cvCreateImage(cvSize(image.width, image.height), 8, 1)
    cvCvtColor(image, grayscale, CV_BGR2GRAY)

    storage = cvCreateMemStorage(0)
    cvClearMemStorage(storage)
    cvEqualizeHist(grayscale, grayscale)

        '/usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml',

    faces = cvHaarDetectObjects(grayscale, cascade, storage, 1.1, 2,
        CV_HAAR_DO_CANNY_PRUNING, cvSize(20,20))

    result = []
    for f in faces:
        result.append((f.x, f.y, f.x+f.width, f.y+f.height))

    return result

def grayscale(r, g, b):
    return int(r * .3 + g * .59 + b * .11)

    image = cvLoadImage(infile);
    if image:
        faces = detectObjects(image)

    im = Image.open(infile)

    if faces:
        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
        for f in faces:
            draw.rectangle(f, outline=(255, 0, 255))

        im.save(outfile, "JPEG", quality=100)
    else:
        print "Error: cannot detect faces on %s" % infile
