Swap the Eyes
Explore how to develop a Python utility to swap the eye region between two facial images using DLib and Delaunay triangulation. Understand the process of detecting facial landmarks, segmenting eye areas, and replacing them to virtually change eye colors. This lesson helps you practice facial component manipulation and experiment with different eye colors on images.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
This lesson provides the steps needed to develop a utility that swaps specific facial components. For the sake of this lesson, we’ll emphasize the mechanism of swapping an eye between two face images.
This utility will enable you to try out different eye colors since you can swap your eye color with a different one. Afterwards, you’ll be able to see the difference between your current eye color and the new eye.
Dependencies
We’ll be using the following external Python libraries.
Library | Version |
| 19.17.0 |
| 4.4.0.46 |
| 0.5.3 |
| 1.0.7 |
Let’s code the utility!
Let’s take a look at the main function of this utility.
