Laravel-Face-Detect
===================

[](#laravel-face-detect)

A Laravel Package for Face Detection and Cropping in Images.

**Installation**

1. Edit the composer.json add to the require array & run composer update
    ```
     "softon/laravel-face-detect": "dev-master"
    ```

    ```
     composer update
    ```
2. Add the service provider to the config/app.php file in Laravel
    ```
     'Softon\LaravelFaceDetect\FaceDetectServiceProvider',
    ```
3. Add an alias for the Facade to the config/app.php file in Laravel
    ```
     'FaceDetect' => 'Softon\LaravelFaceDetect\Facades\FaceDetect',
    ```
4. Publish the config file by running
    ```
     php artisan vendor:publish
    ```

**Usage**

To extract the Face and save the cropped image use...

```
use \Softon\LaravelFaceDetect\Facades\FaceDetect;

FaceDetect::extract($imagefilepath)->save($savefilepath);
```

To extract the Face and return the cropping coordinates without cropping the image...

```
use \Softon\LaravelFaceDetect\Facades\FaceDetect;

$crop_params = FaceDetect::extract($imagefilepath)->face;   // return array with x,y,width
```

To detect if face is found in a image...

```
use \Softon\LaravelFaceDetect\Facades\FaceDetect;

$crop_params = FaceDetect::extract($imagefilepath)->face_found;     // returns true/false
```

You may edit the config file facedetect.php in the config directory to add aditional padding to the cropped Images.
