Face-Detection
Source: http://www.fujifilm.com/
Today I saw an interesting article about Face Detection in the German Magazin c’t (http://www.heise.de/ct/08/13/006/). Its one of the topics which is going to play a very important role in Intelligent-Display as well. At the moment there are many applications in C++ and JAVA doing Face-Detection. In the Web-Area (AS3 and Processing) it still seems a bit quiet…most likely because the power of the Languages just doesnt suffice…
In any case some interesting links regarding this topic:

http://opencvlibrary.sourceforge.net/ (The openCV project is a library which provides function for real-time computer vision)
http://ivt.sourceforge.net/ (Integrating Vision Toolkit)
http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/f/finepix_f50fd/features/index.html (seems that FujiFilm hast integrated a very capable FaceDetection technology in its newer cam models)
Some examples and experiments will follow at some stage…
