Face Detection with the Raspberry Pi Camera Board

I have a very basic face detection routine running with the Raspberry Pi camera board.

To do this I used Robidouille’s library functions (see previous post). I then modified the raspicam_cv.c example to use the face detection routine from Learning OpenCV. There were some tweaks so I will post the code below. You also need to modify the makefile to include the OpenCV object detection libraries.

#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>

#include "RaspiCamCV.h"

int main(int argc, const char** argv){

//Initialise Camera object
 RaspiCamCvCapture * capture = raspiCamCvCreateCameraCapture(0); // Index doesn't really matter

 //initialise memory storage for Haar objects
 CvMemStorage* storage = cvCreateMemStorage(0);

 //Set up Haar Cascade - need quoted file in directory of program
 CvHaarClassifierCascade* cascade = (CvHaarClassifierCascade*)cvLoad( "haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml", 0, 0, 0);

 //Set scale down factor
 double scale = 1.8;

//Set colours for multiple faces
 static CvScalar colors[] = { {{0,0,255}}, {{0,128,255}}, {{0,255,255}}, {{0,255,0}}, {{255,128,0}}, {{255,255,0}}, {{255,0,0}}, {{255,0,255}} };

 //Open Window for Viewing
 cvNamedWindow("RaspiCamTest", 1);

 //Loop for frames - while no keypress
 do {
 //Capture a frame
 IplImage* img = raspiCamCvQueryFrame(capture);

 //Clear memory object
 cvClearMemStorage( storage );

 // IMAGE PREPARATION:
 //Initialise grayscale image
 IplImage* gray = cvCreateImage( cvSize(img->width,img->height), 8, 1 );

 //Shrink image
 IplImage* small_img = cvCreateImage(cvSize( cvRound(img->width/scale), cvRound(img->height/scale)), 8, 1 );

 //Convert to gray
 cvCvtColor( img, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY );

 //Resize to small image size
 cvResize( gray, small_img, CV_INTER_LINEAR );

 //Finished with gray image - release memory
 cvReleaseImage( &gray );

 //Vertical flip image as camera is upside down
 cvFlip(small_img, NULL, -1);

 //Equalise
 cvEqualizeHist( small_img, small_img );

 // Detect objects - last arg is max size -test parameters to optimise
 //Will detect biggest face with 6th arg as 4
 CvSeq* objects = cvHaarDetectObjects( small_img, cascade, storage, 1.1, 4, 4, cvSize( 40, 50 ), cvSize(small_img->width, small_img->height));

 int i;
 // LOOP THROUGH FOUND OBJECTS AND DRAW BOXES AROUND THEM
 for(i = 0; i < (objects ? objects->total : 0); i++ )
 {
 CvRect* r = (CvRect*)cvGetSeqElem( objects, i );

 //My compiler doesnt seem to be able to cope with default variables - need to specify all args - need to change '.' to '->' as r is pointer

 //This line appears to be the problem
 cvRectangle(small_img, cvPoint(r->x,r->y), cvPoint(r->x+r->width,r->y+r->height), colors[i%8], 2, 8, 0);
 }

 cvShowImage("RaspiCamTest", small_img);
 //cvReleaseImage( &gray );
 cvReleaseImage( &small_img );

 } while (cvWaitKey(10) < 0);

 //Close window
 cvDestroyWindow("RaspiCamTest");

 //Release memory
 raspiCamCvReleaseCapture(&capture);

 return 0;
