# This example program shows how to use dlib's implementation of the paper:
# One Millisecond Face Alignment with an Ensemble of Regression Trees by
# Vahid Kazemi and Josephine Sullivan, CVPR 2014
#
# In particular, we will train a face landmarking model based on a small
# dataset and then evaluate it. If you want to visualize the output of the
# trained model on some images then you can run the
# face_landmark_detection.py example program with predictor.dat as the input
# model.
#
# It should also be noted that this kind of model, while often used for face
# landmarking, is quite general and can be used for a variety of shape
# prediction tasks. But here we demonstrate it only on a simple face
# landmarking task.
#
# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
# You can install dlib using the command:
# pip install dlib
#
# Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib
# root folder and run:
# python setup.py install
# or
# python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS
# if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some
# things run faster.
#
# Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have
# CMake and boost-python installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by
# running the command:
# sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev cmake
#
# Also note that this example requires scikit-image which can be installed
# via the command:
# pip install scikit-image
# Or downloaded from http://scikit-image.org/download.html.

# This algorithm has a bunch of parameters you can mess with. The

# You should also read Kazemi's paper which explains all the parameters
# in great detail. However, here I'm just setting three of them
# differently than their default values. I'm doing this because we
# have a very small dataset. In particular, setting the oversampling
# to a high amount (300) effectively boosts the training set size, so
# that helps this example.
