#dotnet – Detecting Faces using DNN from the 🎦 camera feed in a WinForm using #OpenCV and #net5

Buy Me A Coffee

Hi !

Let’s do some face detection using a DNN model (See references). As yesterday, I won’t write about details, there are almost 20 years of online documentation available.

And, IMHO opinion code is much more useful that long writing, so let’s go there. 1st load the Caffe model and the config file.

// download model and prototxt from https://github.com/spmallick/learnopencv/tree/master/FaceDetectionComparison/models
const string configFile = "deploy.prototxt";
const string faceModel = "res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000_fp16.caffemodel";
_faceNet = CvDnn.ReadNetFromCaffe(configFile, faceModel);

And, once we grab the camera frame, let’s perform face detection using the dnn model:

int frameHeight = newImage.Rows;
int frameWidth = newImage.Cols;

using var blob = CvDnn.BlobFromImage(newImage, 1.0, new Size(300, 300),
    new Scalar(104, 117, 123), false, false);
_faceNet.SetInput(blob, "data");

using var detection = _faceNet.Forward("detection_out");
using var detectionMat = new Mat(detection.Size(2), detection.Size(3), MatType.CV_32F,
    detection.Ptr(0));
for (int i = 0; i < detectionMat.Rows; i++)
{
    float confidence = detectionMat.At<float>(i, 2);

    if (confidence > 0.7)
    {
        int x1 = (int)(detectionMat.At<float>(i, 3) * frameWidth);
        int y1 = (int)(detectionMat.At<float>(i, 4) * frameHeight);
        int x2 = (int)(detectionMat.At<float>(i, 5) * frameWidth);
        int y2 = (int)(detectionMat.At<float>(i, 6) * frameHeight);

        Cv2.Rectangle(newImage, new Point(x1, y1), new Point(x2, y2), Scalar.Green);
        Cv2.PutText(newImage, "Face Dnn", new Point(x1 + 2, y2 + 20),
            HersheyFonts.HersheyComplexSmall, 1, Scalar.Green, 2);
    }
}

And, the full code is here

var fpsInfo = $"FPS: Nan";
if (diff.Milliseconds > 0)
{

fpsInfo = $"FPS: {fpsVal:00}";
}
Cv2.PutText(imageRes, fpsInfo, new Point(10, 20), HersheyFonts.HersheyComplexSmall, 1, Scalar.White);
}
var bmpWebCam = BitmapConverter.ToBitmap(imageRes);
var bmpEffect = BitmapConverter.ToBitmap(newImage);
pictureBoxWebCam.Image = bmpWebCam;
pictureBoxEffect.Image = bmpEffect;
}

That’s all for today!

Happy coding!

  1. Hola Elbruno! Recien encontré tu blog, super bueno y te felicito! Quisiera ver si me ayudas con una pequeña duda. Estoy en VB.NET. En la línea 94 detectionMat.At(i, 2) la tengo en VB.NET como Dim confidence As Single = detectionMat.At(Of Single)(i, 2) pero siempre me da el error ” is an unsupported type. He estado horas tratando de ver que puede ser pero no encuentro la solución. Tendrás alguna pista? Muchas gracias desde ya. Un abrazo desde Chile.
