Precise face-alignment

Precise face-alignment with opencv and dlib, using some geometry magic. The difference between this face-alignment algorithm and others is in the fact that this one relies not only on the position of the eyes, but also depends on the position of the nose. The scheme of the algorithm is shown below : In order to use a programm do the following :

1. Make new virtualenv and activate it:

   virtualenv face-alignment

   source face-alignment/bin/activate

2. Clone this repo to some folder and move to it :

   git clone https://github.com/HikkaV/Precise-face-alignment

   cd Precise-face-alignment/

3. Install requirments :

   pip install -r requirments.txt

4. In order to get to know available commands :

   python run.py -h

   Currently two modes of algorithm are available : opencv cascade classifier mode and dlib 5 facial lendmarks recognizer mode. Note : dlib mode is much more precise. Example of a programm :
