FaceRecognition.java in JavaCV Train Text File pattern

I'm currently running the sample code FaceRecognition.java by reed the code found here.

The sample for the train text file for images is in this format:

1 myName /sdcard/FaceDB/s1/myName1.jpg
1 myName /sdcard/FaceDB/s1/myName2.jpg
1 myName /sdcard/FaceDB/s1/myName3.jpg
1 myName /sdcard/FaceDB/s1/myName4.jpg
2 otherName /sdcard/FaceDB/s2/otherName1.jpg
2 otherName /sdcard/FaceDB/s2/otherName2.jpg
2 otherName /sdcard/FaceDB/s2/otherName3.jpg
2 otherName /sdcard/FaceDB/s2/otherName4.jpg

I am wondering how this is done, and what is the explanation behind this?

Solution

  • I would like to point you to this article http://www.shervinemami.info/faceRecognition.html which does explain everything you want to know. The code is in C/C++, but I hope it is not too difficult to follow.

    The file just follows this format:

    <person no.> <person name> <location of the the person's face image>

    You can actually create your own format. It is about your design on how your program can find and read those input images.
