Viola

Viola android face detection library detects faces automatically from a bitmap, crop faces using the predefined algorithms, and provides supplementary information of the detected faces.

Features:
-> Prominent face detection
-> Multiple face detection
-> Automatic face crop
-> Face classification information
-> Age classification support

Getting Started

Demo application

Download sample application sample_v_1.1.1

Compatibility

• Minimum Android SDK : Viola 1.1.3 requires a minimum API level of 21.

Installation

Download the latest aar from jitpack or grab via

root build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

app build.gradle:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.darwinfrancis:viola:1.1.4'
}

or Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.darwinfrancis</groupId>
  <artifactId>viola</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.4</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Usage

Kotlin

val viola = Viola(listener)
viola.addAgeClassificationPlugin(context) //optional, available via external dependency

viola.detectFace(bitmap)

private val listener: FaceDetectionListener = object : FaceDetectionListener {

        override fun onFaceDetected(result: Result) {}

        override fun onFaceDetectionFailed(error: FaceDetectionError, message: String) {}
}

with FaceOptions

val faceOption =
    FaceOptions.Builder()
               .enableProminentFaceDetection()
               .enableDebug()
               .build()
viola.detectFace(bitmap,faceOption)

Java

Viola viola = new Viola(listener);
viola.addAgeClassificationPlugin(context) //optional, available via external dependency

viola.detectFace(bitmap);

private final FaceDetectionListener listener = new FaceDetectionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFaceDetected(@NotNull Result result) { }

        @Override
        public void onFaceDetectionFailed(@NotNull FaceDetectionError error, @NotNull String message) { }
};

with FaceOptions

FaceOptions faceOptions = new FaceOptions.Builder()
                .enableProminentFaceDetection()
                .enableDebug()
                .build();
viola.detectFace(bitmap,faceOptions);

Configure the face detector

Viola is currently extended with the following configurations. Instructions on how to use them in your own application are linked below.

CropAlgorithm.THREE_BY_FOUR : Performs face crop in three by four ratio

CropAlgorithm.SQUARE : Performs face crop in 1:1 ratio(useful when showing face in circular view)

CropAlgorithm.LEAST : Performs face crop with minimum padding(possibly reduce face overlap on multi face detection)

NOTE : add viola-age dependency to your application build.gradle file and viola.addAgeClassificationPlugin(this) to your viola sdk instance for ageClassification feature to work on detected face.

Face detection result

Viola provides the following values in Result class

Roadmap

-Add gender classification feature as plugin
-Add emotion classification feature as plugin
-Implement face detection and cropping from live camera preview.
