Face Morpher

Warp, average and morph human faces!
Scripts will automatically detect frontal faces and skip images if none is detected.

Built with Python, dlib, Numpy, Scipy, dlib.

Supported on Python 2.7, Python 3.6+
Tested on macOS Mojave and 64bit Linux (dockerized).

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt
Download http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2 and extract file.
Export environment variable DLIB_DATA_DIR to the folder where shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat is located. Default data. E.g export DLIB_DATA_DIR=/Downloads/data

Either:

Use as local command-line utility
Use as pip library
Try out in a docker container

Morphing Faces

Morph from a source to destination image:

python facemorpher/morpher.py --src=<src_imgpath> --dest=<dest_imgpath> --plot

Morph through a series of images in a folder:

python facemorpher/morpher.py --images=<folder> --out_video=out.avi

All options listed in morpher.py (pasted below):

Morph from source to destination face or
Morph through all images in a folder

Usage:
    morpher.py (--src=<src_path> --dest=<dest_path> | --images=<folder>)
            [--width=<width>] [--height=<height>]
            [--num=<num_frames>] [--fps=<frames_per_second>]
            [--out_frames=<folder>] [--out_video=<filename>]
            [--plot] [--background=(black|transparent|average)]

Options:
    -h, --help              Show this screen.
    --src=<src_imgpath>     Filepath to source image (.jpg, .jpeg, .png)
    --dest=<dest_imgpath>   Filepath to destination image (.jpg, .jpeg, .png)
    --images=<folder>       Folderpath to images
    --width=<width>         Custom width of the images/video [default: 500]
    --height=<height>       Custom height of the images/video [default: 600]
    --num=<num_frames>      Number of morph frames [default: 20]
    --fps=<fps>             Number frames per second for the video [default: 10]
    --out_frames=<folder>   Folder path to save all image frames
    --out_video=<filename>  Filename to save a video
    --plot                  Flag to plot images to result.png [default: False]
    --background=<bg>       Background of images to be one of (black|transparent|average) [default: black]
    --version               Show version.

Averaging Faces

Average faces from all images in a folder:

python facemorpher/averager.py --images=<images_folder> --out=average.png

All options listed in averager.py (pasted below):

Face averager

Usage:
    averager.py --images=<images_folder> [--blur] [--plot]
            [--background=(black|transparent|average)]
            [--width=<width>] [--height=<height>]
            [--out=<filename>] [--destimg=<filename>]

Options:
    -h, --help             Show this screen.
    --images=<folder>      Folder to images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png)
    --blur                 Flag to blur edges of image [default: False]
    --width=<width>        Custom width of the images/video [default: 500]
    --height=<height>      Custom height of the images/video [default: 600]
    --out=<filename>       Filename to save the average face [default: result.png]
    --destimg=<filename>   Destination face image to overlay average face
    --plot                 Flag to display the average face [default: False]
    --background=<bg>      Background of image to be one of (black|transparent|average) [default: black]
    --version              Show version.

Steps (facemorpher folder)

1. Locator

Locates face points
For a different locator, return an array of (x, y) control face points

2. Aligner

Align faces by resizing, centering and cropping to given size

3. Warper

Given 2 images and its face points, warp one image to the other
Triangulates face points
Affine transforms each triangle with bilinear interpolation

4a. Morpher

Morph between 2 or more images

4b. Averager

Average faces from 2 or more images

Blender

Optional blending of warped image:

Weighted average
Alpha feathering
Poisson blend

Examples - Being John Malkovich

Create a morphing video between the 2 images:

> python facemorpher/morpher.py --src=alyssa.jpg --dest=john_malkovich.jpg
--out_video=out.avi

(out.avi played and recorded as gif)

Save the frames to a folder:

> python facemorpher/morpher.py --src=alyssa.jpg --dest=john_malkovich.jpg
--out_frames=out_folder --num=30

Plot the frames:

> python facemorpher/morpher.py --src=alyssa.jpg --dest=john_malkovich.jpg
--num=12 --plot

Average all face images in a folder:

85 images used

> python facemorpher/averager.py --images=images --blur --background=transparent
--width=220 --height=250

Use as pip library

$ pip install facemorpher

Examples

Additional options are exactly the same as the command line

import facemorpher

# Get a list of image paths in a folder
imgpaths = facemorpher.list_imgpaths('imagefolder')

# To morph, supply an array of face images:
facemorpher.morpher(imgpaths, plot=True)

# To average, supply an array of face images:
facemorpher.averager(['image1.png', 'image2.png'], plot=True)

Once pip installed, 2 binaries are also available as a command line utility:

$ facemorpher --src=<src_imgpath> --dest=<dest_imgpath> --plot
$ faceaverager --images=<images_folder> --plot

Try out in a docker container

Mount local folder to /images in docker container, run it and enter a bash session. --rm removes the container when you close it. :

$ docker run -v  /Users/alyssa/Desktop/images:/images --name py3 --rm -it jjanzic/docker-python3-opencv bash

Once you're in the container, install facemorpher and try the examples listed above :

root@0dad0912ebbe:/# pip install facemorpher
root@0dad0912ebbe:/# facemorpher --src=<img1> --dest=<img2> --plot
