Notebook 3 : Facial Keypoint Detection Using Haar Cascades and your Trained CNN

Notebook 4 : Fun Filters and Keypoint Uses

Local Environment Instructions

1. Clone the repository, and navigate to the downloaded folder. This may take a minute or two to clone due to the included image data.

git clone https://github.com/udacity/P1_Facial_Keypoints.git
cd P1_Facial_Keypoints

2. Create (and activate) a new environment, named cv-nd with Python 3.6. If prompted to proceed with the install (Proceed [y]/n) type y.

   • Linux or Mac:

   conda create -n cv-nd python=3.6
   source activate cv-nd
   

   • Windows:

   conda create --name cv-nd python=3.6
   activate cv-nd
   

   At this point your command line should look something like: (cv-nd) <User>:P1_Facial_Keypoints <user>$. The (cv-nd) indicates that your environment has been activated, and you can proceed with further package installations.

3. Install PyTorch and torchvision; this should install the latest version of PyTorch.

   • Linux or Mac:

   conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch 
   

   • Windows:

   conda install pytorch-cpu -c pytorch
   pip install torchvision
   

4. Install a few required pip packages, which are specified in the requirements text file (including OpenCV).

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data

All of the data you'll need to train a neural network is in the P1_Facial_Keypoints repo, in the subdirectory data. In this folder are training and tests set of image/keypoint data, and their respective csv files. This will be further explored in Notebook 1: Loading and Visualizing Data, and you're encouraged to look trough these folders on your own, too.

Notebooks

1. Navigate back to the repo. (Also, your source environment should still be activated at this point.)

cd
cd P1_Facial_Keypoints

2. Open the directory of notebooks, using the below command. You'll see all of the project files appear in your local environment; open the first notebook and follow the instructions.

jupyter notebook
