Face detection using Python and OpenCV by Paolo D’Incau.
From the post:
Most of the posts you will find in this blog are Erlang related (of course they are!), but sometimes I like writing also about my experiences at University of Trento as I am doing right now. During the last couple of years I have attended many courses about Computer Vision and Digital Signal Processing so today I would like to show you something about it.
In this post I will write about making some code for face detection purposes using python and OpenCV. This post will have no code, actually you can just grab my original code from here (the files needed are faces.py and haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml).
Face detection is a computer technology that determines the locations and sizes of human faces in images or video. It detects facial features and ignores anything else, such as buildings, trees and bodies.
I can imagine any number of topic map applications that could use or be enhanced by face detection capabilities.
