Ah! Gets excited. 1. Clicks on the browse button to find a good selfie. 2. Uploads the pic to Toonify. 3. Clicks on 'Toonify' button: > Failed: Didn't find any faces in the supplied image. Ack what? Ok. The machine is still learning. (P.S: I like the project though. Hope it will improve over time. But toonification of any pic without deep learning/machine learning thrown into the mix is already a solved problem, no?)

Same here- looks incredible but no face found :(

  If you were trying on iphone this should probably work now.

We're using dlib's frontal face detector for the face detection. It's ok, but certainly not state of the art, maybe in the future I'll find a better face detector...

  The way I solved this for Faceweave is, if no face detected, let the operation proceed anyway. This gives the user the ability to line up the face themselves. The logic is basically: ask dlib for face landmarks; if no landmarks, resize image to 1024x1024 and proceed; otherwise align face.

I tried my face with two different backgrounds but nothing. I guess I just have one of those faces! (might be a good thing)

At you on iPhone? Rotate your phone 90° clockwise then try again. By default the portrait image will be rotated, causing the face detection to fail. I know this because I‘ve run in to the same problem before, had to correct it server side :)
