OpenCV
dlib
Installation
cmake
This is simple enough. But it’s worth calling out individually. If you do deep work with these binaries then you will start to mess with cmake. It’s a bit tough to build binaries.
apt-get install cmake
Install dlib on Ubuntu
The easiest way to install dlib is to install it with the bundled version with pip.
It may end up that you will need to compile dlib. It depends on how deep you are going into the framework.
pip3 install dlib
If you have to compile this there may be a lot of features coming with it that aren’t always needed. Things like guis and cameras.
cd examples mkdir build cd build cmake .. cmake –build . –config Release
You will need this to install the face tools next.
Install Face Recognition Repo
This library has been invaluable as a set of time saving tools for me.
