This repository contains the code for Using Facial Landmarks for Overlaying Faces with Masks blog post.

Most of the code is based on the HRNet-Facial-Landmark-Detection repository, huge thanks to them.

This code is developed using Python 3.6 and PyTorch 1.0.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 with NVIDIA GPU. Other platforms or GPUs are not fully tested.

1. Create virtual environment:

You'll need to install virtualenv package if you don't have it:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3.6 venv
source venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. You will also need the pre-trained weights, which you can take from here HR18-300W.pth:

wget -O HR18-300W.pth https://pscm7q.by.files.1drv.com/y4m1ndEsUHxWtszPoyHY2BQ2Zdvh0-dgYW_5dtTcxX_YFP8p5YYADNSndm3tAj2f-U4aMPMuS6-VyMvWaCYaO2otLab4XWblhouZkbuIgzr3ZGem6A2b1Lm6Kb3WrYQL_m3D2hj8Y3ulD06kXpvsvsoN-YlmXd9NK12snBfQxrgQf7OVXYsP1xWJEZfN_1CKdLPl1xYNaNvCeQik5LiCnmB9g

To run the demo, you need to execute the following command in your terminal:

python3 overlay_with_mask.py --cfg experiments/300w/face_alignment_300w_hrnet_w18.yaml --landmark_model HR18-300W.pth --mask_image masks/anti_covid.png

Try out different masks from the masks folder or use yours, but don't forget to annotate them first.
