Facial recognition/merging software

Can anyone point me in the right direction of some facial recognition libraries & algorithms ? I've tried searching/googling but i mostly find thesises and very little real software. ...

Why is Google's "face recognition" feature available only in Picasa WEB and not Picasa for the PC?

I friend asked me this today. Picasa Web has a cool (and frightening :-) feature where it will recognize all the faces in your photo album. But the PC (desktop) version doesn't have this. Several reasons I can think of: They just haven't gotten around to writing the PC version of the code. They are licensing that feature and it cost...

Face recognition Library

I'm looking for a free face recognition library for a university project. I'm not looking for face detection. I'm looking for actual recognition. That means finding images that contain specified faces or libraries that calculate distances between specific faces. I'm using OpenCV for detecting the faces and a rough Eigenfaces Algorithm...

Facial recognition/detection PHP or software for photo and video galleries

I have a very large photo gallery with thousands of similar people, objects, locations, things. The majority of the people in the photos have their own user accounts and avatar photos to match. There are also logical short lists of people potentially in the photo based on additional data available for each photo. I allow users to tag pho...

Storing and comparing biometric information

In general we use biometrics in computer applications say for authentication. Lets get 2 examples finger prints and facial recognition. In those cases how we keep the information for comparison. As an example we can't keep a image and process it every time. So what are the methodologies we use to store/determine the similarity in such c...

how does data clustering help in image or pattern recognition

I have been playing around with different data clustering algorithms working on finding clusters between random data points represented an nodes, I keep reading that data clustering is used for image recognition. I am failing to make the connection, how does clustering data help in recognizing an image or in facial recognition. can someo...

Face recognition in Java

Can any one suggest me an open source face recognition framework in Java? ...

How to design a REStful API for a media analysis engine

I am new to Restful concept and have to design a simple API for a media analysis service I need to set up, to perform various tasks, e.g. face analysis, region detection, etc. on uploaded images and video. Outline of my initial design is as follows: Client POSTs a configuration XML file to http://manalysis.com/facerecognition. This cr...

Face detection and comparison

I'm running a small research on face detection and comparison for my article. Currently, I'm using rapid face detection based on haar like features based on OpenCV cascade (I'll implement learning later). The next step is making face comparison. Are there any well know algorithms? It'll be great, if there are some C# codes, explaining t...

Face Recognition for classifying digital photos?

I like to mess around with AI and wanted to try my hand at face recognition the first step is to find the faces in the photographs. How is this usually done? Do you use convolution of a sample image/images or statistics based methods? How do you find the bounding box for the face? My goal is to classify the pictures of my kids from a...

Face morph and recognition

I have two requirements: members of a social network choose other member's faces and morph an average face of them. The website finds other members' faces that resemble the morphed face and list up in order of resemblance. Is there a script that can do this? I see that http://www.faceresearch.org/demos/average does the item 1 but...

Windows Login Integration

Hi Peeps. I am building facial recognition software for a certain purpose, however, as a spin-off i would like to use that same software / concept, to automatically recognize me when i sit in front of the PC, and log me in. recognition is handled.. however, i need to incorporate this into windows, the same way fingerprint logins work. ...

Face Recognition in AS3

Hey all, I have been working on a project which involves Marilena(project that ports Face Detection part of OPENCV to ActionScript3). Right now I can take the faces and keep them as byteArrays. I am working on Flash Builder 4. I want to add Face Recognition part either. I will identify the faces by connecting to a database but I couldn...

OpenCV/EmguCV face recognition

I am trying to make an app that detect faces and recognizes it. I made Face detection but I want some idea to when making recognition. I'm using a web cam for tracking and it can detect the face.Then I am taking only the part of the face to a new gray image and comparing it using EigenObjectRecognizer with list of images in database. But...

State of the art in face recognition

I have looked a little bit into face recognition recently. However I am overwelmed by the number of algorithm that there are. PCA, LDA, IDA, Gabor Wavelets, AAM ... Say you wanted to make something like this... Which algorithms would you use or which papers would you read? ...

Web based face recognition system

I am thinking of building a web based face recognition system. I know there are a few like KeyLemon, and others offered by different manufacturers that allows the laptops users to login into Windows using their face. I am wondering if this functionality could be transfered to a web application. ...

Is there any open technology to recognize face features?

I need to make baby face depending on parents' photos. Something like: http://www.makemebabies.com/ It may be not very advanced and may just try to recognize, for example, eyes from constant set of eyes variants in database. The main feature is to set up it at own server. Is there any open-source or not-so-expensive solutions? ...

Automatic face detection using Picasa API to extract individual images.

(A similar question has been asked on superuser for answers related to applications. The question is posted here to gather programmable solutions for the same) At my work place, passport sized photographs are scanned together, then cut up into individual pictures and saved with unique file numbers. Currently we use Paint.net to manually...
