The random_cropper is a convenient tool to help you crop out a bunch of identically sized images from a training dataset. This example shows you what it does exactly and talks about some of its options. */ #include <iostream> #include <dlib/data_io.h> #include <dlib/gui_widgets.h> #include <dlib/image_transforms.h> using namespace std; using namespace dlib; // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- int main(int argc, char** argv) try { if (argc != 2) { cout << "Give an image dataset XML file to run this program." << endl; cout << "For example, if you are running from the examples folder then run this program by typing" << endl; cout << " ./random_cropper_ex faces/training.xml" << endl; cout << endl; return 0; } // First lets load a dataset std::vector<matrix<rgb_pixel>> images; std::vector<std::vector<mmod_rect>> boxes; load_image_dataset(images, boxes, argv[1]); // Here we make our random_cropper.
