FaceCharacterization structure (mfapi.h)

The FaceCharacterization structure describes the blob format for the MF_CAPTURE_METADATA_FACEROICHARACTERIZATIONS attribute.

Syntax

typedef struct tagFaceCharacterization {
  ULONG BlinkScoreLeft;
  ULONG BlinkScoreRight;
  ULONG FacialExpression;
  ULONG FacialExpressionScore;
} FaceCharacterization;

Members

BlinkScoreLeft

0 indicates no blink for the left eye, 100 indicates definite blink for the left eye (0 - 100).

BlinkScoreRight

0 indicates no blink for the right eye, 100 indicates definite blink for the right eye (0 - 100).

FacialExpression

A defined facial expression value.

FacialExpressionScore

0 indicates no such facial expression as identified, 100 indicates definite such facial expression as defined (0 - 100).

Remarks

The MF_CAPTURE_METADATA_FACEROICHARACTERIZATIONS attribute contains the blink and facial expression state for the face ROIs identified in MF_CAPTURE_METADATA_FACEROIS. For a device that does not support blink or facial expression detection, this attribute should be omitted.

The facial expressions that can be detected are defined as follows:

#define MF_METADATAFACIALEXPRESSION_SMILE             0x00000001

The FaceCharacterizationBlobHeader and FaceCharacterization structures only describe the blob format for the MF_CAPTURE_METADATA_FACEROICHARACTERIZATIONS attribute. The metadata item structure for the face characterizations (KSCAMERA_METADATA_ITEMHEADER + face characterizations metadata payload) is up to driver and must be 8-byte aligned.
