MAXINE-AR-SDK

NVIDIA AR SDK enables real-time modeling and tracking of human faces from video. The SDK is powered by NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) with Tensor Cores, and as a result, the algorithm throughput is greatly accelerated, and latency is reduced.

NVIDIA AR SDK has the following features:

Face detection and tracking, which detects, localizes, and tracks human faces in images or videos by using bounding boxes.
Facial landmark detection and tracking, which which predicts and tracks the pixel locations of human facial landmark points and head poses in images or videos.The detected facial landmarks follow the Multi-PIE 68 point mark-ups information in Facial point annotations.
Face 3D mesh and tracking, which reconstructs and tracks a 3D human face and its head pose from the provided facial landmarks . NVIDIA AR SDK provides a sample application that demonstrates the features listed above n real time by using a webcam or offline videos.

NVIDIA AR SDK is distributed in the following parts:

This open source repository that includes the SDK API and proxy linking source code (add link to the "nvar" folder in this repo), sample applications and their dependency libraries (add link to the "samples" folder in this repo).
An Installer hosted on Nvidia Dev Zone (link to be added) that installs the SDK DLLs, the models, and the SDK dependency libraries.

Please refer to SDK programming guide (add link to programming guide in this repo) for configuring the SDK, integrating the SDK, compiling and running the sample application.
