Getting Error: (-215:Assertion failed) When Using seamlessClone

For clarity, I am a beginner in Python. I'm creating a script that replaces the eyes with a robotic one from a series of images in a folder. I'm stuck on the seamlessClone function that keeps throwing this error.
The code is incomplete as far as writing out the entire script (it only clones one eye so far), but everything should be working. I've been stuck on this one for 6 hours and thought I would ask on here.
I've tried checking my filenames, paths, seeing if the image file was corrupt by using print, changing the image files with different dimensions, filetypes (png, jpg) and so on.
I've also tried converting every numpy array(cv2_image, Eye) into a 32bit array to see if that was the issue, but nothing prevailed.
# Import
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFilter
from statistics import mean
import face_recognition
import cv2
import glob
import numpy as np
# Open Eye Images
Eye = cv2.imread('eye.jpg')
# Loop Through Images
for filename in glob.glob('images/*.jpg'):
cv2_image = cv2.imread(filename)
image = face_recognition.load_image_file(filename)
face_landmarks_list = face_recognition.face_landmarks(image)
for facemarks in face_landmarks_list:
# Get Eye Data
eyeLPoints = facemarks['left_eye']
eyeRPoints = facemarks['right_eye']
npEyeL = np.array(eyeLPoints)
npEyeR = np.array(eyeRPoints)
# Create Mask
mask = np.zeros(cv2_image.shape, cv2_image.dtype)
mask.fill(0)
poly = np.array([eyeLPoints])
cv2.fillPoly(mask, [poly], (255,255, 255))
# Get Eye Image Centers
npEyeL = np.array(eyeLPoints)
eyeLCenter = npEyeL.mean(axis=0).astype("int")
x1 = (eyeLCenter[0])
x2 = (eyeLCenter[1])
print(x1, x2)
# Get Head Rotation (No code yet)
# Apply Seamless Clone To Main Image
saveImage = cv2.seamlessClone(Eye, cv2_image, mask ,(x1, x2) , cv2.NORMAL_CLONE)
# Output and Save
cv2.imwrite('output/output.png', saveImage)
Here is the full error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stack.py", line 45, in <module>
saveImage = cv2.seamlessClone(Eye, cv2_image, mask ,(x1, x2) , cv2.NORMAL_CLONE)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.1.1) /io/opencv/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp:466: error: (-215:Assertion failed) 0 <= roi.x && 0 <= roi.width && roi.x + roi.width <= m.cols && 0 <= roi.y && 0 <= roi.height && roi.y + roi.height <= m.rows in function 'Mat'
The result I'm expecting is for the eye image to be cloned onto the original image, but this error keeps being thrown, preventing me from completing the script. If there were any hint as to what's going on, I feel that the culprit is the "Eye" file, but I could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

There are two sets of keypoints:
There is a set of keypoints for the eye in the destination image:
There is a set of keypoints for the eye in the source image:
You are using the wrong set of keypoints to make the mask for the cv2.seamlessClone() function. You should be using the keypoints from the source image. The mask needs to be a TWO channel image, in your code (among the other problems) you are using a THREE channel image.
This is the result. You can see there should also be a resize function to match the sizes of the eyes:
This is the code that I used:
import face_recognition
import cv2
import numpy as np
# Open Eye Images
eye = cv2.imread('eye.jpg')
# Open Face image
face = cv2.imread('face.jpeg')
# Get Keypoints
image = face_recognition.load_image_file('face.jpeg')
face_landmarks_list = face_recognition.face_landmarks(image)
for facemarks in face_landmarks_list:
# Get Eye Data
eyeLPoints = facemarks['left_eye']
eyeRPoints = facemarks['right_eye']
npEyeL = np.array(eyeLPoints)
# These points define the contour of the eye in the EYE image
poly_left = np.array([(51, 228), (100, 151), (233, 102), (338, 110), (426, 160), (373, 252), (246, 284), (134, 268)], np.int32)
# Create a mask for the eye
src_mask = np.zeros(face.shape, face.dtype)
cv2.fillPoly(src_mask, [poly_left], (255, 255, 255))
cv2.imwrite('src_mask.png', src_mask)
# Find where the eye should go
center, r = cv2.minEnclosingCircle(npEyeL)
center = tuple(np.array(center, int))
# Clone seamlessly.
output = cv2.seamlessClone(eye, face, src_mask, center, cv2.NORMAL_CLONE)

Edge box detection using opencv python

Can any one give an example of edge box detection algorithm to generate proposals for object detection using open cv.
We can get the details from https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.0/d4/d0d/group__ximgproc__edgeboxes.html

Yes. First you will need to download the model file that is used for Edge Boxes here. Once you do that, the following code below (taken from their Github) can be used as an example for running the Edge Boxes algorithm. In short, put the code below into a separate file called edgeboxes_demo.py, then in the terminal type in:
python model.yml.gz image_file
model.yml.gz is the model that you saved from the link above which I assume is in the same directory where the code is. image_file is the path to the image you want to use for testing the algorithm. The code will run the Edge Boxes algorithm then draw the detected boxes on the image in green:
import cv2 as cv
import numpy as np
import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
model = sys.argv[1]
im = cv.imread(sys.argv[2])
edge_detection = cv.ximgproc.createStructuredEdgeDetection(model)
rgb_im = cv.cvtColor(im, cv.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
edges = edge_detection.detectEdges(np.float32(rgb_im) / 255.0)
orimap = edge_detection.computeOrientation(edges)
edges = edge_detection.edgesNms(edges, orimap)
edge_boxes = cv.ximgproc.createEdgeBoxes()
edge_boxes.setMaxBoxes(30)
boxes = edge_boxes.getBoundingBoxes(edges, orimap)
for b in boxes:
x, y, w, h = b
cv.rectangle(im, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 1, cv.LINE_AA)
cv.imshow("edges", edges)
cv.imshow("edgeboxes", im)
cv.waitKey(0)
cv.destroyAllWindows()

pyzbar missing a module attribute that does actually exist?

Win 10 x64, Python 2.7, Spyder IDE
I'm using some code from Adrian Rosebrock's OpenCV blog...
import pyzbar
import cv2
# load the input image
image = cv2.imread("barcode_example.png")
# find the barcodes in the image and decode each of the barcodes
barcodes = pyzbar.pyzbar.decode(image)
# loop over the detected barcodes
for barcode in barcodes:
# extract the bounding box location of the barcode and draw the
# bounding box surrounding the barcode on the image
(x, y, w, h) = barcode.rect
cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 0, 255), 2)
# the barcode data is a bytes object so if we want to draw it on
# our output image we need to convert it to a string first
barcodeData = barcode.data.decode("utf-8")
barcodeType = barcode.type
# draw the barcode data and barcode type on the image
text = "{} ({})".format(barcodeData, barcodeType)
cv2.putText(image, text, (x, y - 10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,
0.5, (0, 0, 255), 2)
# show the output image
cv2.imshow("Image", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
I keep getting the following error...
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pyzbar'
Yet when I check the module in Spyder it does indeed have said artibute...
I've tried running from the command line with the same result.
I have also checked to see if my installation of zbar is working & it is with no problems
Is this an issue with the Python bindings or something really obvious?

Try:
import pyzbar.pyzbar as pyzbar
Works for me.

Python - openCv to detect circles giving strange results

I'm using the code explained in https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2014/07/21/detecting-circles-images-using-opencv-hough-circles/#comment-480634 and trying to basically detect the small rounded profile images (to be precise 5) displayed lower half of this sample instagram page (attached). What I can't figure out is why:
1. only one out of the 5 small rounded profile circles is captured by the code
2. how come there's a big circle displayed on the page and seems quite absurd to me.
Here is the code I'm using:
# we create a copy of the original image so we can draw our detected circles
# without destroying the original image.
image = cv2.imread("instagram_page.png")
# the cv2.HoughCircles function requires an 8-bit, single channel image,
# so we’ll convert from the RGB color space to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
#blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(gray, (5, 5), 0)
# detect circles in the image. We pass in the image we want to detect circles as the first argument,
# the circle detection method as the second argument (currently, the cv2.cv.HOUGH_GRADIENT method
# is the only circle detection method supported by OpenCV and will likely be the only method for some time),
# an accumulator value of 1.5 as the third argument, and finally a minDist of 100 pixels.
circles = cv2.HoughCircles(gray, cv2.HOUGH_GRADIENT, 1.7, minDist= 1, param1 = 300, param2 = 100, minRadius=3, maxRadius=150)
print("Circles len -> {}".format(len(circles)))
# ensure at least some circles were found
if circles is not None:
# convert the (x, y) coordinates and radius of the circles to integers
# converting our circles from floating point (x, y) coordinates to integers,
# allowing us to draw them on our output image.
circles = np.round(circles[0, :]).astype("int")
# loop over the (x, y) coordinates and radius of the circles
for (x, y, r) in circles:
# draw the circle in the output image, then draw a rectangle
# corresponding to the center of the circle
orange = (39, 127, 255)
cv2.circle(output, (x, y), r, orange, 4)
cv2.rectangle(output, (x - 5, y - 5), (x + 5, y + 5), (0, 128, 255), -1)
img_name = "Output"
cv2.namedWindow(img_name,cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv2.resizeWindow(img_name, 800,800)
cv2.imshow(img_name, output)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
I use minDist = 1 to make sure those close circles are potentially captured. Does anybody see something completely wrong with my parameters?

I played around with the parameters and managed to detect all circles (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64, Python 3.7, numpy==1.15.1, python-opencv==3.4.3):
circles = cv2.HoughCircles(
gray,
cv2.HOUGH_GRADIENT,
1.7,
minDist=100,
param1=48,
param2=100,
minRadius=2,
maxRadius=100
)

Detect face then autocrop pictures

I am trying to find an app that can detect faces in my pictures, make the detected face centered and crop 720 x 720 pixels of the picture. It is rather very time consuming & meticulous to edit around hundreds of pictures I plan to do that.
I have tried doing this using python opencv mentioned here but I think it is outdated. I've also tried using this but it's also giving me an error in my system. Also tried using face detection plugin for GIMP but it is designed for GIMP 2.6 but I am using 2.8 on a regular basis. I also tried doing what was posted at ultrahigh blog but it is very outdated (since I'm using a Precise derivative of Ubuntu, while the blogpost was made way back when it was still Hardy). Also tried using Phatch but there is no face detection so some cropped pictures have their face cut right off.
I have tried all of the above and wasted half a day trying to make any of the above do what I needed to do.
Do you guys have suggestion to achieve a goal to around 800 pictures I have.
My operating system is Linux Mint 13 MATE.
Note: I was going to add 2 more links but stackexchange prevented me to post two more links as I don't have much reputation yet.

I have managed to grab bits of code from various sources and stitch this together. It is still a work in progress. Also, do you have any example images?

facedetect OpenCV CLI wrapper written in Python
https://github.com/wavexx/facedetect is a nice Python OpenCV CLI wrapper, and I have added the following example to their README.
Installation:
sudo apt install python3-opencv opencv-data imagemagick
git clone https://gitlab.com/wavexx/facedetect
git -C facedetect checkout 5f9b9121001bce20f7d87537ff506fcc90df48ca
Get my test image:
mkdir -p pictures
wget -O pictures/test.jpg https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/Ciro_Santilli_with_a_stone_carved_Budai_in_the_Feilai_Feng_caves_near_the_Lingyin_Temple_in_Hangzhou_in_2012.jpg
Usage:
mkdir -p faces
for file in pictures/*.jpg; do
name=$(basename "$file")
i=0
facedetect/facedetect --data-dir /usr/share/opencv4 "$file" |
while read x y w h; do
convert "$file" -crop ${w}x${h}+${x}+${y} "faces/${name%.*}_${i}.${name##*.}"
i=$(($i+1))
done
done
If you don't pass --data-dir on this system, it fails with:
facedetect: error: cannot load HAAR_FRONTALFACE_ALT2 from /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
and the file it is looking for is likely at: /usr/share/opencv4/haarcascades on the system.
After running it, the file:
faces/test_0.jpg
contains:
which was extracted from the original image pictures/test.jpg:
Budai was not recognized :-( If it had it would appear under faces/test_1.jpg, but that file does not exist.
Let's try another one with faces partially turned https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/Ciro_Santilli_with_his_mother_in_law_during_his_wedding_in_2017.jpg
Hmmm, no hits, the faces are not clear enough for the software.
Tested on Ubuntu 20.10, OpenCV 4.2.0.

Autocrop worked out for me pretty well.
It is as easy as autocrop -i pics -o crop -w 400 -H 400.
You can get the usage in their readme file.
usage: autocrop [-h] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTPUT] [-r REJECT] [-w WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT]
[-v] [--no-confirm] [--facePercent FACEPERCENT] [-e EXTENSION]
Automatically crops faces from batches of pictures
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INPUT, --input INPUT
Folder where images to crop are located. Default:
current working directory
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT, -p OUTPUT, --path OUTPUT
Folder where cropped images will be moved to. Default:
current working directory, meaning images are cropped
in place.
-r REJECT, --reject REJECT
Folder where images that could not be cropped will be
moved to. Default: current working directory, meaning
images that are not cropped will be left in place.
-w WIDTH, --width WIDTH
Width of cropped files in px. Default=500
-H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
Height of cropped files in px. Default=500
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
--no-confirm Bypass any confirmation prompts
--facePercent FACEPERCENT
Percentage of face to image height
-e EXTENSION, --extension EXTENSION
Enter the image extension which to save at output

This sounds like it might be a better question for one of the more (computer) technology focused exchanges.
That said, have you looked into something like this jquery face detection script? I don't know how savvy you are, but it is one option that is OS independent.
This solution also looks promising, but would require Windows.

the above codes work but this is recent implementation using OpenCV
I was unable to run the above by the latest and found something that works (from various places)
import cv2
import os
def facecrop(image):
facedata = "haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml"
cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(facedata)
img = cv2.imread(image)
minisize = (img.shape[1],img.shape[0])
miniframe = cv2.resize(img, minisize)
faces = cascade.detectMultiScale(miniframe)
for f in faces:
x, y, w, h = [ v for v in f ]
cv2.rectangle(img, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), (255,255,255))
sub_face = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
fname, ext = os.path.splitext(image)
cv2.imwrite(fname+"_cropped_"+ext, sub_face)
return
facecrop("1.jpg")

Just adding to #Israel Abebe's version. If you add a counter before image extension the algorithm will give all the faces detected. Attaching the code, same as Israel Abebe's. Just adding a counter and accepting the cascade file as an argument. The algorithm works beautifully! Thanks #Israel Abebe for this!

facedata = sys.argv[1]
cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(facedata)

faces = cascade.detectMultiScale(miniframe)

for f in faces:
x, y, w, h = [ v for v in f ]
cv2.rectangle(img, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), (255,255,255))
sub_face = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
fname, ext = os.path.splitext(image)
cv2.imwrite(fname+"_cropped_"+str(counter)+ext, sub_face)
counter += 1
return
facecrop("Face_detect_1.jpg")
PS: Adding as answer. Was not able to add comment because of points issue.

It will create a 'Data' directory in the current location even if this directory does not exist.
When a face is marked with a rectangle, press 'c' to capture the image and in the command prompt, it will ask for the name of the face. Put the name of the image and enter. You can find this image in the 'Data' directory.

I used this shell command:
for f in *.jpg;do PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages python -c 'import cv2;import sys;rects=cv2.CascadeClassifier("/usr/local/opt/opencv/share/OpenCV/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml").detectMultiScale(cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread(sys.argv[1]),cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY),1.3,5);print("\n".join([" ".join([str(item) for item in row])for row in rects]))' $f|while read x y w h;do convert $f -gravity NorthWest -crop ${w}x$h+$x+$y ${f%jpg}-$x-$y.png;done;done
You can install opencv and imagemagick on OS X with brew install opencv imagemagick.

I think the best option is Google Vision API.
It's updated, it uses machine learning and it improves with the time.
You can check the documentation for examples:
