Face Parts Detection
It detects faces with left eye, right eye, mouth, and norse.
Run demo to try!
This code is implimented based on CascadeObjectDetector of FrontalFaceCART, LeftEye, RightEye, Mouth, and Nose.
I belive the performance is improved compared to the default usage of the face detection.
detectFaceParts and detectRotFaceParts are main functions.
detectFaceParts detects frontal faces with parts.
detectRotFaceParts detects faces with parts rotating an input image.
Each function has own help.

Hi Masayuki, is it possible to use this only to measure the entire face, and remove the face parts detection? Which function should I edit to achieve this? Measuring all the individual parts slows down the process while I only need the outline of the face.
Thanks!

I would like to take another question, what should I change the code so that it does not make the first detection of the face, that is, I want now to make the detection of parts of the face. Second it is possible to add another face detector like this: http://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/empirical-analysis-cascade-deformable-models-multi/

Boris Dykukha (view profile)
Hello Tonmoy Chakraborty,
I got same problem with some images, and I have fixed it already. There was problems when "tmp" had just 1 row, and also when it was division 0/0.
If you haven't fix it yet, here is solution:
In the file "mergeFourPoints" change the part on the line 52:
num = tmp > 0;
tmp = sum(tmp) ./ sum(num);
dst = vertcat(dst,tmp);
in the next way:
num = tmp > 0;
nums = sum(num,1);
for v = 1:size(num,2)
if(nums(1,v) == 0)
nums(1,v) = 1;
end
end
tmp = sum(tmp,1) ./ nums;
dst = vertcat(dst,tmp);
Good luck

Thanks for your response Tanaka!
Oh yeah, i got your point. When I tested your code for an image containing eyes only, it didn't work.
That means, this type of combination works when all the parts are present in the image. This is what hierarchical relationship I think.
Thanks.
Masayuki Tanaka (view profile)
Hi Sorath,
In my toolbox, I use a spatial correlation among a left eye, a right eye, a nose, and a mouse. I also use a hierarchical relationship between a face and face parts. I don’t think that a pistol and a rifle have such kind of spatial correlation. If there are some spatial correlation and/or the hierarchical relationship, you can combine multiple detectors for them by following my toolbox.
Thank you!
Sorath Asnani (view profile)
Hello Tanaka!
You have done a great job! This code has made life easier.
Can you tell me that where exactly in your code you have integrated multiple detectors?

Hi Ooi, thank you for putting good rating!
I'm very sorry for late response. I also send email to you.
The detected face regions are cropped and scaled into "standard size" of the face detector. Then, each face part detectors are applied.
1. can you tell me how do these formula work?
Those formulas work to re-scale from the standard size to the original size and the position.
2. why want to set the stdsize is 176? is it any value is acceptable?
You can change the stdsize when you build the detector by the function of buildDetector. The default value of the stdsize is 176. I don’t have any theoretical reason to set 176. But, I think that value works well.
3. why the ratio formula is this type? is that possible change the ratio formula to other formula?
There might be some other formulations. But, the purpose of this calculation is just to return back to the original size and position. I don’t think that this formulation has technically special.
I hope this helps you. Thank you.

This is great! it works well and your code is easy to follow. thanks for sharing! ... in your previous comment u mentioned you didn't publish a paper related to this, but I'm wondering if you can recommend us any published paper related to the algorithm used here?
thanks.

hi dear, unable to run code..there is something error like this::??? Undefined variable "vision" or class "vision.CascadeObjectDetector".
Error in ==> buildDetector at 52
detector.detector{k} = vision.CascadeObjectDetector(char(nameDetector(k)),
'MergeThreshold', thresholdParts, 'MinSize', minSize);
Error in ==> demo at 9
detector = buildDetector();

hi plz help me sir...can u mial me this code..my id is " pnehal64@gmail.com"..thank u so much

Hi, your code works great. But one thing that make me so confuse is the ratio type.
ratio = double(bbox(i,3)) / double(stdsize);
b(1,1) = (( b(1,1) + region(1,1) ) * ratio) + bbox(i,1);
b(1,2) = (( b(1,2) + region(2,1) ) * ratio) + bbox(i,2);
b(1,3) = b(1,3) * ratio;
b(1,4) = b(1,4) * ratio;
1. can you tell me how do these formula work?
2. why want to set the stdsize is 176? is it any value is acceptable?
3. why the ratio formula is this type? is that possible change the ratio formula to other formula?
Please reply me soon, thank you.

Hi sudha,
Yes, the information of the extracted eyes, noses and mouthes are stored in bbox.
% bbox: bbox(:, 1: 4) is bounding box for face
% bbox(:, 5: 8) is bounding box for left eye
% bbox(:, 9:12) is bounding box for right eye
% bbox(:,13:16) is bounding box for mouth
% bbox(:,17:20) is bounding box for nose
% please see the documentation of the computer vision toolbox for details of the bounding box.
Thanks!

Hi Dillon, thank you for the comment and the rating. But, I did not publish any paper related to this code.

Great job! This code works! Can you please send me a paper describing its algorithm? shuusaku1984@gmail.com

is it possible to use this code on a video for a real time face detection?

My face detection requires computer vision toolbox of matlab.
Have you installed the computer vision toolbox?
Thanks.

Respected sir,
we are unable to run the program.we are always getting an error as:
Error in ==> detectFaceParts at 46
bbox = step(detector.detector{5}, X);
Error in ==> detectRotFaceParts at 58
srcOrg = [size(X,2);size(X,1)]/2+0.5;
Error in ==> buildDetector at 52
detector.detector{k} = vision.CascadeObjectDetector(char(nameDetector(k)), 'MergeThreshold', thresholdParts,
'MinSize', minSize);
Error in ==> drawFourPoints at 39
M=int32(fourpoints);
Error in ==> mergeFourPoints at 27
pos = zeros(size(src,1),2);
So,please guide as sir.

Unable to run the demo.. Always getting something like this
Error in ==> buildDetector at 52
detector.detector{k} = vision.CascadeObjectDetector(char(nameDetector(k)),
'MergeThreshold', thresholdParts, 'MinSize', minSize);
Error in ==> demo at 3
detector = buildDetector();
