# This example shows how to use find_candidate_object_locations().  The
# function takes an input image and generates a set of candidate rectangles
# which are expected to bound any objects in the image.
# It is based on the paper:
#    Segmentation as Selective Search for Object Recognition by Koen E. A. van de Sande, et al.
#
# Typically, you would use this as part of an object detection pipeline.
# find_candidate_object_locations() nominates boxes that might contain an
# object and you then run some expensive classifier on each one and throw away
# the false alarms.  Since find_candidate_object_locations() will only generate
# a few thousand rectangles it is much faster than scanning all possible
# rectangles inside an image.

# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
#   You can install dlib using the command:
#       pip install dlib
#
#   Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib
#   root folder and run:
#       python setup.py install
#   or
#       python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS
#   if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some
#   things run faster.  
#
#   Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have
#   CMake installed.  On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the
#   command:
#       sudo apt-get install cmake
#
#   Also note that this example requires scikit-image which can be installed
#   via the command:
#       pip install scikit-image
#   Or downloaded from http://scikit-image.org/download.html.
