FaceDetect

An Android Application for detecting and registering face profiles With FaceMe backend.

1. Home Screen

• Home Screen can be used to load or create a new Face Profile. Clicking Show Profile brings up a dialog where FaceID is to be entered.
• On entering FaceID, a GET request is launched and image is displayed in LoadImageActivity.java.

Standard backend URL is:

• Image Show URL

http://192.168.7.115/api/v1/showface/image/  

• Profile Show URL

http://192.168.7.115/api/v1/showface/profile/  

2. Detect Page

• DetectActivity.java is responsible for the following tasks:

  • Capturing image using Androidx camera API
  • Detecting face and drawing bounding box using Firebase FaceDetect API
  • Posting profile JSON and image (encoded in multipart-form-data) to backend

  Example of profile JSON

  {"person_name":"donna chim","person_id":"donnachim","photo_name":"donnachim","photo_url":"http://192.168.7.115/api/v1/showface/image/nourl/donnachim/"
  ,"rectangle_vector":{"x":577.979736328125,"y":349.3026123046875,"width":1052.13232421875,"height":823.4552001953125}}

• Multipart POST is done with Android Async-HTTP. With async-http, image upload is done on a worker thread. A progressdialog is displayed during all network operations.
