The face detection API detects faces and returns their coordinates as well as the gender. It functions similarly to the face recognition API except that it does not perform recognition. Also note that the recognition API does not return gender predictions.
Example
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace appone
{
class Response {
public bool success {get;set;}
public Face[] predictions {get;set;}
}
class Face {
public string gender {get;set;}
public float confidence {get;set;}
public int y_min {get;set;}
public int x_min {get;set;}
public int y_max {get;set;}
public int x_max {get;set;}
}
class App {
static HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
public static async Task detectFace(string image_path){
var request = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var image_data = File.OpenRead(image_path);
request.Add(new StreamContent(image_data),"image",Path.GetFileName(image_path));
var output = await client.PostAsync("http://localhost:80/v1/vision/face",request);
var jsonString = await output.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Response response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response>(jsonString);
Console.WriteLine(jsonString);
}
static void Main(string[] args){
detectFace("family.jpg").Wait();
}
}
}
Result
female
male
male
female
{'predictions': [{'y_max': 303, 'gender': 'female', 'confidence': 100, 'x_min': 534, 'x_max': 629, 'y_min': 174}, {'y_max': 275, 'gender': 'male', 'confidence': 99, 'x_min': 616, 'x_max': 711, 'y_min': 146}, {'y_max': 259, 'gender': 'male', 'confidence': 98, 'x_min': 729, 'x_max': 811, 'y_min': 147}, {'y_max': 290, 'gender': 'female', 'confidence': 99, 'x_min': 471, 'x_max': 549, 'y_min': 190}], 'success': True}
We can use the coordinates returned to extract the faces from the image
