Detection and Recognition of Masked Faces
Methods for recognition of masked faces were added in Face SDK 3.4. If you want to detect and recognize masked faces, use the video_worker_fdatracker_blf_fda.xml
configuration file for detection and one of the configuration files for recognition below:
method9v30mask_recognizer.xml
method9v300mask_recognizer.xml
method9v1000mask_recognizer.xml
These are the configuration files for the methods 9.30, 9.300, and 9.1000 that were optimized to recognize masked faces. See more information about recognition methods and configuration files in Face Identification.
The options to turn on detection and recognition of masked faces in Face SDK are described below.
Using the pre-built video_recognition_demo sample
- When running video_recognition_demo, specify the configuration file
video_worker_fdatracker_blf_fda.xml
in the--vw_config_file
parameter. - [Optional] Specify one of the above recognition methods in the
--method_config
parameter.
See the complete instructions and detailed info about the parameters in cpp/video_recognition_demo.
Building a sample from the source code
- Specify
video_worker_fdatracker_blf_fda.xml
in thevideo_worker_config
parameter when you create aVideoWorker
object (C++, C#, Java). - [Optional] Specify one of the above recognition methods in the
recognizer_ini_file
parameter. - Re-build the app.
See an example of creating a VideoWorker
object and detailed info about the parameters in Tracking Faces.
