This software was written by Rafael Iriya in Februrary 2017 following paper “Simulation of face/hairstyle swapping in photographs with skin texture synthesis” by Jia-Kai Chou and Chuan-Kai Yang.

OpenCV and compiler versions:
	Code was originally developed using Visual Studio 2017 and visual c++ 14.0 compiler. Both OpenCV 2.4.13. and OpenCV 3.4 are necessary to run the code. The Stasm software cannot be built or run with a version more recent than 2.4.x.x and the 	hairSWapping software requires OpenCV 3.4, for the SeamlessCloning features.

Dependencies:
	STASM source code, Version 4.1.0. Older versions will not work as they provide different locations and index of the facial key points. 

Building the code:
	First compile the Stasm software, then compile the hairSwapping software, making sure stasm.exe is in the same folder.
	If using compatible Visual Studio IDE, simply open Stasm.sln and HairSwapping.sln and compile both projects
	If not:
	Include all STASM headers and source files in the stasm project.
	Include all source and header files developed for the hairswapping software which can be found in the root project folder.	

Running the code:
	The software takes two inputs, model and target, where model refers to the name of the model image (with extension) and target to the name of the target image (with extension). Images need to be inside the data/ folder.	
	If inputs are not properly passed, the software will try to load two example images from the data/ folder.
	The final hair swap image will be shown in screen. The user will need to press a button.
	After button press, mosaic result image will be saved in the results/ folder.
