How to install virtual machine?

How can you develop iOS apps on a Windows PC? The short answer is… you can’t!We need to have an iMac or Macbook to develop iOS applications. Hovewer, There are plenty of options to get around that.

The problem is Xcode, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you use to design, develop and publish iOS apps. Xcode includes the Swift compiler, Interface Builder, and tools to upload your app to the App Store. Xcode contains everything you need to build iOS apps, and it only runs on Mac OS X.

It is not rational to buy a new MacBook for beginner level programmer. There are already a few iMacs in the labs. I can use one of these if I need to. Now let's come up with how to develop the application on windows.

The easiest way to develop iOS apps on a Windows PC is by making use of a virtual machine. A virtual machine will create an environment an operating system can run in, as if it’s running on the hardware itself.

Firstly, I've downloaded MacOS iso file here. After that I've installed VMWare from official site. It is kind of virtual machine program.  Finally, I've set up MacOS on VMWare. You can also use the video below to help:

Creating a Database for Wide-Close-Normal Eyes

In this stage, we are trying to classify different eyes shapes. The most important thing in this classification is distance between of two eyes. For example, if the space between two eyes is smaller than the width of one eye, this is close set eye or if vice versa, this is wide set eye. For normal set eyes, we specified a tolerance value and tested over approx. a hundred images. Then, we classified these images which called wide-close- normal eyes. In next stage, we will try in our program each image and make a histogram to get a correct result for classification. For instance this is close set eyes. Normal Set Eyes Wide Set Eyes Close Set Eyes

Simple Eyes Classification

There are lots of multiple kind of eyes on people. We can`t understand which kind of eyes at first view. In this samples, we will show you how to detect type of eyes. Even if there are a lot of variable eyes, firstly we will try to simple classification. We will consider only 3 types of eyes which are CAT EYE, OVAL EYE, DROOPY EYE. We shouldn`t  try to low definition images to get accurate results. 1. CAT EYE 2. ROUND/OVAL EYE 3. DROOPY EYE

Rotate an Facial Images

If you want to measure any facial landmarks correctly, you should rotate facial image which is not straight. The person who taken an photo may not stand straight. To avoid this situation, firstly we drew two lines throught eyes and nose. We rotate the image according to eye line. After that, we found the angle between two lines. This angle should be about 90 degrees for correct and straight face photos. If this angle is between 85-95 degrees, this photo can use to measuring and we rotate the image other but if it is not, the program gives an warning which is "This photo was rejected. Please take a photo again". So this method will give much more correct. Taken image Rotated image As you can see, the program gave a warning because the photo taken has an incorrect angle. Taken photo Rotated and original photo The program didn't give a warning. This photo is suitable.
