FeaturePoint class and FDP class have additional property and functions, respectively to conform with the C++ API.
FeaturePoint
| FeaturePoint.detected
| FDP
| bool FDP::FPIsDetected(int group, int n)
bool FDP::FPIsDetected(String name)
|
| Info |
|---|
If 1, indicates that the feature point is obtained from a 2D image using the tracking algorithm. 0 indicates that the feature point is estimated from fitting a 3D model onto the detected feature points of the face. |
