Face detector

Face detector is a face detection Android library which can be easily plugged into any camera API (given it provides a way to process its frames).

Face detector is built on top of MLKit’s face detection API.

Usage

Only 2 easy steps:

  1. Add a FaceBoundsOverlay on top of your camera view.
<FrameLayout
    ...>

    // Any other views

    <CameraView
        ... />

    <husaynhakeem.io.facedetector.FaceBoundsOverlay
        ... />

    // Any other views

</FrameLayout>
  1. Define a FaceDetection instance and connect it to your camera.
val faceDetector = FaceDetector(facesBoundsOverlay)
cameraView.addFrameProcessor {
    faceDetector.process(Frame(
            data = it.data,
            rotation = it.rotation,
            size = Size(it.size.width, it.size.height),
            format = it.format,
            lensFacing = cameraView.facing))
}
