Preprocessors¶

class bob.bio.face.preprocessor.Base(dtype=None, color_channel='gray', **kwargs)¶

Bases: bob.bio.base.preprocessor.Preprocessor

Performs color space adaptations and data type corrections for the given image.

Parameters:

dtype : numpy.dtype or convertible or None: The data type that the resulting image will have.
color_channel : one of ('gray', 'red', 'gren', 'blue', 'rgb'): The specific color channel, which should be extracted from the image.

color_channel(image) → channel[source]¶

Returns the channel of the given image, which was selected in the constructor. Currently, gray, red, green and blue channels are supported.

Parameters:

image : 2D or 3D numpy.ndarray: The image to get the specified channel from.

Returns:

channel : 2D or 3D numpy.ndarray: The extracted color channel.

data_type(image) → image[source]¶

Converts the given image into the data type specified in the constructor of this class. If no data type was specified, or the image is None, no conversion is performed.

Parameters:

image : 2D or 3D numpy.ndarray: The image to convert.

Returns:

image : 2D or 3D numpy.ndarray: The image converted to the desired data type, if any.

class bob.bio.face.preprocessor.FaceCrop(cropped_image_size, cropped_positions, fixed_positions=None, mask_sigma=None, mask_neighbors=5, mask_seed=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: bob.bio.face.preprocessor.Base

Crops the face according to the given annotations.

This class is designed to perform a geometric normalization of the face based on the eye locations, using bob.ip.base.FaceEyesNorm. Usually, when executing the crop_face() function, the image and the eye locations have to be specified. There, the given image will be transformed such that the eye locations will be placed at specific locations in the resulting image. These locations, as well as the size of the cropped image, need to be specified in the constructor of this class, as cropped_positions and cropped_image_size.

Some image databases do not provide eye locations, but rather bounding boxes. This is not a problem at all. Simply define the coordinates, where you want your cropped_positions to be in the cropped image, by specifying the same keys in the dictionary that will be given as annotations to the crop_face() function.

Sometimes, databases provide pre-cropped faces, where the eyes are located at (almost) the same position in all images. Usually, the cropping does not conform with the cropping that you like (i.e., image resolution is wrong, or too much background information). However, the database does not provide eye locations (since they are almost identical for all images). In that case, you can specify the fixed_positions in the constructor, which will be taken instead of the annotations inside the crop_face() function (in which case the annotations are ignored).

Sometimes, the crop of the face is outside of the original image boundaries. Usually, these pixels will simply be left black, resulting in sharp edges in the image. However, some feature extractors do not like these sharp edges. In this case, you can set the mask_sigma to copy pixels from the valid border of the image and add random noise (see bob.ip.base.extrapolate_mask()).

Parameters:

cropped_image_size : (int, int): The size of the resulting cropped images.
cropped_positions : dict: The coordinates in the cropped image, where the annotated points should be put to. This parameter is a dictionary with usually two elements, e.g., {'reye':(RIGHT_EYE_Y, RIGHT_EYE_X) , 'leye':(LEFT_EYE_Y, LEFT_EYE_X)}. However, also other parameters, such as {'topleft' : ..., 'bottomright' : ...} are supported, as long as the annotations in the __call__ function are present.
fixed_positions : dict or None: If specified, ignore the annotations from the database and use these fixed positions throughout.
mask_sigma : float or None: Fill the area outside of image boundaries with random pixels from the border, by adding noise to the pixel values. To disable extrapolation, set this value to None. To disable adding random noise, set it to a negative value or 0.
mask_neighbors : int: The number of neighbors used during mask extrapolation. See bob.ip.base.extrapolate_mask() for details.
mask_seed : int or None: The random seed to apply for mask extrapolation.

Warning

When run in parallel, the same random seed will be applied to all parallel processes. Hence, results of parallel execution will differ from the results in serial execution.
kwargs: Remaining keyword parameters passed to the Base constructor, such as color_channel or dtype.

crop_face(image, annotations = None) → face[source]¶

Executes the face cropping on the given image and returns the cropped version of it.

Parameters:

image : 2D numpy.ndarray: The face image to be processed.
annotations : dict or None: The annotations that fit to the given image. None is only accepted, when fixed_positions were specified in the constructor.

Returns:

face : 2D numpy.ndarray (float): The cropped face.

class bob.bio.face.preprocessor.FaceDetect(face_cropper, cascade=None, use_flandmark=False, detection_overlap=0.2, distance=2, scale_base=0.9576032806985737, lowest_scale=0.125, **kwargs)¶

Bases: bob.bio.face.preprocessor.Base

Performs a face detection (and facial landmark localization) in the given image and crops the face.

This class is designed to perform a geometric normalization of the face based on the detected face. Face detection is performed using bob.ip.facedetect. Particularly, the function bob.ip.facedetect.detect_single_face() is executed, which will always return exactly one bounding box, even if the image contains more than one face, or no face at all. The speed of the face detector can be regulated using the cascade, distance` ``scale_base and lowest_scale parameters. The number of overlapping detected bounding boxes that should be joined can be selected by detection_overlap. Please see the documentation of bob.ip.facedetect for more details about these parameters.

Additionally, facial landmarks can be detected using the Python Bindings to the Flandmark Keypoint Localizer for Frontal Faces. If enabled using use_flandmark = True in the constructor, it is tried to obtain the facial landmarks inside the detected facial area. If landmarks are found, these are used to geometrically normalize the face. Otherwise, the eye locations are estimated based on the bounding box. This is also applied, when use_flandmark = False.

The face cropping itself is done by the given face_cropper. This cropper can either be an instance of FaceCrop (or any other class that provides a similar crop_face function), or it can be the resource name of a face cropper, such as 'face-crop-eyes'.

Parameters:

face_cropper : bob.bio.face.preprocessor.FaceCrop or str: The face cropper to be used to crop the detected face. Might be an instance of a FaceCrop or the name of a face cropper resource.
cascade : str or None: The file name, where a face detector cascade can be found. If None, the default cascade for frontal faces bob.ip.facedetect.default_cascade() is used.
use_flandmark : bool: If selected, bob.ip.flandmark.Flandmark is used to detect the eye locations. Otherwise, the eye locations are estimated based on the detected bounding box.
detection_overlap : float: See bob.ip.facedetect.detect_single_face().
distance : int: See the Sampling section in the Users Guide of bob.ip.facedetect.
scale_base : float: See the Sampling section in the Users Guide of bob.ip.facedetect.
lowest_scale : float: See the Sampling section in the Users Guide of bob.ip.facedetect.
kwargs: Remaining keyword parameters passed to the Base constructor, such as color_channel or dtype.

crop_face(image, annotations = None) → face[source]¶

annotations : any: Ignored.

Returns:

face : 2D or 3D numpy.ndarray (float): The detected and cropped face.

Algorithms¶

class bob.bio.face.algorithm.GaborJet(gabor_jet_similarity_type, multiple_feature_scoring='max_jet', gabor_directions=8, gabor_scales=5, gabor_sigma=6.283185307179586, gabor_maximum_frequency=1.5707963267948966, gabor_frequency_step=0.7071067811865476, gabor_power_of_k=0, gabor_dc_free=True)¶

Bases: bob.bio.base.algorithm.Algorithm

Computes a comparison of lists of Gabor jets using a similarity function of bob.ip.gabor.Similarity.

The model enrollment simply stores all extracted Gabor jets for all enrollment features. By default (i.e., multiple_feature_scoring = 'max_jet'), the scoring uses an advanced local strategy. For each node, the similarity between the given probe jet and all model jets is computed, and only the highest value is kept. These values are finally averaged over all node positions. Other strategies can be obtained using a different multiple_feature_scoring.

Parameters:

gabor_jet_similarity_type : str:

The type of Gabor jet similarity to compute. Please refer to the documentation of bob.ip.gabor.Similarity for a list of possible values.

multiple_feature_scoring : str

How to fuse the local similarities into a single similarity value. Possible values are:

'average_model' : During enrollment, an average model is computed using functionality of bob.ip.gabor.
'average' : For each node, the average similarity is computed. Finally, the average of those similarities is returned.
'min_jet', 'max_jet', 'med_jet' : For each node, the minimum, maximum or median similarity is computed. Finally, the average of those similarities is returned.
'min_graph', 'max_graph', 'med_graph' : For each node, the average similarity is computed. Finally, the minimum, maximum or median of those similarities is returned.

gabor_directions, gabor_scales, gabor_sigma, gabor_maximum_frequency, gabor_frequency_step, gabor_power_of_k, gabor_dc_free

These parameters are required by the disparity-based Gabor jet similarity functions, see bob.ip.gabor.Similarity.. The default values are identical to the ones in the bob.bio.face.extractor.GridGraph. Please assure that this class and the bob.bio.face.extractor.GridGraph class get the same configuration, otherwise unexpected things might happen.

enroll(enroll_features) → model[source]¶

Enrolls the model using one of several strategies. Commonly, the bunch graph strategy [WFK97] is applied, by storing several Gabor jets for each node.

Parameters:

enroll_features : [[bob.ip.gabor.Jet]]: The list of enrollment features. Each sub-list contains a full graph.

Returns:

model : [[bob.ip.gabor.Jet]]: The enrolled model. Each sub-list contains a list of jets, which correspond to the same node. When multiple_feature_scoring = 'average_model' each sub-list contains a single bob.ip.gabor.Jet.
