The Ultimate Real-Time Face Tracking Toolkit for Developers and OEM's

Track & understand faces like never before with the faceAPI from Seeing Machines – now available for license.

The faceAPI allows you to incorporate Seeing Machines world class face tracking technology into your own product or application. The faceAPI provides a suite of image-processing modules created specifically for tracking & understanding faces and facial features. These powerful tracking modules are combined into a complete API toolkit that delivers a rich stream of facial information that you can incorporate into your own products or services. The Seeing Machines faceAPI is the only comprehensive, integrated solution for developing products that leverage real-time face tracking.

Current Version
The current release of the faceAPI provides two optimized head-tracking engines, each with different performance & load characteristics suitable for a variety of projects. The faceAPI is in continual development with new features and capabilities being added all the time.

Features:

  • Highly robust, real-time, monocular face tracking;
  • 6 degree-of-freedom (3D) head tracking: (X, Y, Z position and rotation);
  • Automatic initialization – automatic face finding and commencement of tracking, with automatic reacquisition if tracking is lost;
  • Facial feature detection – extracts and outputs facial feature coordinates;
  • Can track up to +/- 90 degrees of head rotation;
  • Can track with as few as 50 pixels across the face;
  • Large tracking volume (as a guide, a 640x480 camera provides tracking volume of approximately 100 x 60 x 100 cm)
  • Works with any Windows-based web camera;
  • Designed for all human faces: robust to occlusions, fast movements, large head rotations, lighting, facial deformation, skin color, beards, glasses etc;
  • Full control over all tracking parameters for purposes of software integration.
  • Works in visible and IR lighting

Development and Commercial licensing options are now available. Please refer to our FAQ for specific questions, alternatively Contact us to request information on commercial licensing.
