Showerglass

A soothing face filter where you can appreciate the beauty but not fully identify the person. Useful for social applications, blogging etc.

You can read how it works in this article.

Features

1. Resizing (Caire, NearestNeighbor, ApproxBiLinear, BiLinear, CatmullRom)
2. Automatic Face detection
3. Frosted Showerglass filter (delaunay triangulation) over only face

Installation

go get -u github.com/rocketlaunchr/showerglass/core

import "github.com/rocketlaunchr/showerglass/core"

Usage

import	("image/jpeg"; "os";)
import	"github.com/rocketlaunchr/showerglass/core"

f, _ := os.Open("face.jpg")
defer f.Close()

opts := showerglass.Options{
	NewHeight: 100.0,
	NewWidth:  100.0,
	ResizeAlg: showerglass.CatmullRom,
	TriangleConfig: func(QRank, facearea int, Q float32, h, w int, c showerglass.MaxPoints) *showerglass.TriangleConfig {
		if QRank < 1 {
			// only modify first detected face
			return &showerglass.TriangleConfig{
				MaxPoints:  1500,
				BlurRadius: 4,
				BlurFactor: 1,
				EdgeFactor: 6,
				PointRate:  0.075,
			}
		}
		return nil
	},
}

masked, _, _ := showerglass.FaceMask(f, opts)

out, _ := os.Create("masked.jpg")

jpeg.Encode(out, masked, &jpeg.Options{Quality: 100})

Calibration

• A higher MaxPoints means the face looks closer to the original.
• A lower MaxPoints (with the exception of 0) means a more obfuscated face.

Based on the facearea, you need to calibrate MaxPoints to achieve the desired feel.
