FreckleCounter

counts the number of freckles on a face

• first need to isolate face from image

• basically, remove features used to detect faces - eyes, mouth

  • using dlib: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/facial_landmarks_68markup-768x619.jpg

• first instinct was to use corner detection to maybe find freckles - lol horrifying

• look for color differences

  • so 4:39 am me is saying: scan the face
    • ignore hair color (established by sampling above forehead)
    • ignore facial features - marked in yellow (0,255,255)
    • establish average skin color
    • look for stuff darker than skin color
