I want to align several faces I have at my disposal here using openCv. I want to read a jpg face photo, align it and finally save it as in jpg after alignment. See below
BufferedImage img = null;
img = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/face_test.jpg"));
//Face alignment here
BufferedImage imgAligned = new BufferedImage(//I will need to put aligned Image here as a BufferedImage);
File outPutFile = new File("D:\\face_aligned.jpg");
ImageIO.write(imgAligned, "JPEG", outPutFile );
I will gladly appreciate your suggestions, code snippets or any good Java APIs that can do this.
hello try to see this documentation
i suggest you to use PCA

Dear Mohammed! You brought the best option CV file. It's a good aid to Joseph.
Perhaps you can find inspiration in the Anvil Face Tracker. It uses Java and OpenCV, but not JPG - it works with movie frames. It does linear regression on the center of the bounding box around a face to compute face velocity and acceleration. See https://github.com/kuhumcst/Anvil-Facetracker
@Mohammed thank you so much. That is the example I got referred to by other sources but I did not really understand how they were getting the angle of rotation using Math.atan2() but when I read about it keenly I figured it out infact it was the best option I could use to come upp with a java replica.
@Vladimir thank you for vouching for the same answer.
@Bart I appreciate. I will download Anvil Face Tracker and try it out too.I don't mind even if it works with movie frames because at some point I will need to put movie frames into consideration. Thank you for your answer.
