MATLAB Easy Face Detection

The main aim of this instructables is to show how much easy ,the image processing will be , With the help of MATLAB

Face detection and tracking has been an important and active research field ,so that's why i'm going to explain how it can be done with the Matlab.

In the following tutorial i'm going to do the below stuff:

1.detecting faces in a image and counting.

2.detecting human eyes in a image and counting.

3.detecting human mouth in a image and counting.

4.detecting faces in a Video and counting.

5.detecting human eyes in a Video and counting.

6.detecting human mouth in a Video and counting.

MATLAB SCRIPT:

clear all % clear all objects
clc %clear screen

FDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector; %Detect objects using Viola-Jones Algorithm

%Read the input image

image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg')

BB = step(FDetect,image); %Returns Bounding Box values based on number of objects

figure,
imshow(I);

hold on

for i = 1:size(BB,1)

rectangle('Position',BB(i,:),'LineWidth',5,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','r'); %r -red, g-green,b-blue

end

title('Face Detection'); %title of the figure
hold off;

The result will be like the image which was attached in this step itself

To count the number of faces detected:

clear all % clear all objects
clc %clear screen

FDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector; %Detect objects using Viola-Jones Algorithm %Read the input image

image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg')

BB = step(FDetect,image); %Returns Bounding Box values based on number of objects

figure,

imshow(I);

hold on

for i = 1:size(BB,1)

rectangle('Position',BB(i,:),'LineWidth',5,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','r'); %r -red, g-green,b-blue

end

text(10,10, strcat('\colour{red} No of faces =',num2str(length(BB)))); This line gives you the count

title('Face Detection'); %title of the figure

hold off;

MATLAB SCRIPT:

clear all;

clc;

%To detect Eyes
EyeDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector('EyePairBig');

%Read the input

image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg')

BB=step(EyeDetect,image);

figure,

imshow(image);

rectangle('Position',BB,'LineWidth',4,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','b');

title('Eyes Detection');

The result will be like the image which was attached in this step itself

To count the number of eyes detected:

clear all;
clc; %To detect Eyes

EyeDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector('EyePairBig');

image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg')

BB=step(EyeDetect,image);
figure, imshow(image); rectangle('Position',BB,'LineWidth',4,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','b');

text(10,10, strcat('\colour{red} No of eyes =',num2str(length(BB))));

title('Eyes Detection');

MATLAB SCRIPT:

clear all;

clc;

%To detect Mouth

MouthDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector('Mouth','MergeThreshold',16);

%Read the input
image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg')

BB=step(MouthDetect,image);

figure, imshow(image);

hold on

for i = 1:size(BB,1)

rectangle('Position',BB(i,:),'LineWidth',4,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','r');

end

title('Mouth Detection');

hold off;

The result will be like the image which was attached in this step itself

To count the number of Mouth detected:

clear all;
clc; %To detect Mouth

MouthDetect = vision.CascadeObjectDetector('Mouth','MergeThreshold',16); %Read the input

image = imread('c:\Deskotp\HarryPotter.jpg'); %load the image by using imread('file location\name.jpg') BB=step(MouthDetect,image);

figure, imshow(image);

hold on

for i = 1:size(BB,1)

rectangle('Position',BB(i,:),'LineWidth',4,'LineStyle','-','EdgeColor','r');

end

text(10,10, strcat('\colour{red} No of mouths =',num2str(length(BB))));
