Dlib is C++ machine learning library

Here are some instructions to install it

• clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:davisking/dlib.git

• navigate to the dlib folder

cd dlib

• (optional)if using a virtual environment, activate it

// cv is my virtualenv name

- workon cv

• build the python bindings I neeed to pass the flag ‘DLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT’ to build jpeg support

python setup.py install --yes DLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT

Test if everything is working The python_examples folder has some nice examples of usage.

Lets run the trained facial detector, example

python python_examples/face_detector.py examples/faces/2007_007763.jpg

If all works, you should see an image with red rectangles around faces.
