face recognition

[ben]

Hi Mario,

i am no expert in this area, but there seem to be quite a few face recognition libraries on the web. Even for commercial use.
Just stumbled across openCV the other day. But as i said, i am no expert. It's just an idea.
Facial recognition would be soo cool if integrated into iMatch.

I use OpenCV code in IMatch for a variety of purposes.

But the face detection is a still a research project and comes nowhere close to what Google or Facebook have. By far.
And I don't have the time to build something usable based on the OpenCV face recognition code. I've played with it a while ago and even cobbled something together. But the results were bad, maybe 30% recognition rate. The OV code is only just a beginning, much has to be developed on top of it to make it work. Including a lot of research. This is nothing I could do myself, not even when I would devote 100% of my time to it.
