Face Detection on iPhone (including source code)
- jbum 17y agoIt's perhaps worth pointing out that this software is for detecting the presence of any old face, not for detecting a particular face, such as you or Osama Bin Laden.
- jcollins 17y agoRight, detecting who is in a picture would be "face recognition". Good point though.
- derefr 17y agoDoes it only do human faces? Could it detect my dog, or a Cubist rendering? (Face detection in non-photographic art could be quite lucrative, I imagine.)
- jcollins 17y agoIn general, just human faces. But I had a friend tell me they drew a picture of a face on a whiteboard and it detected it. Almost definitely won't detect a dog. :)
- markessien 17y agoThis is the base for the face detection, in case you are wondering and don't want to dig through the code: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FaceDetection http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FaceDetection
- zacharypinter 17y agoNot that github should be the only location of open source, but does anybody else find themselves surprised when they come across code samples that don't use it?
- teej 17y agoI was surprised when I saw a link to a tgz file. I almost put it into a Github repo, but the code didn't come with a license.
- jcollins 17y agoGood point about the license. Consider it public domain. I'll make a note about it on the blog entry. I'll slap it up on github in a few and update the links. http://github.com/beetlebugorg/PictureMe/tree/master http://github.com/beetlebugorg/PictureMe/tree/master

- e1ven 17y agoNot for nothing, I think it might be best to give it an explicit license. I would suggest the MIT license ( http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php ) if you want to be public-domain-esque. It turns out that just advising to consider it public domain doesn't carry much legal standing, neither in protecting you, nor in ensuring people can get it past their laywers.
- jcollins 17y agoThat's probably a good place for it. I guess I felt like posting it to github would be turning it into a "project", which definitely isn't the goal but I suppose I could just dump code there for the taking. Other folks do it. =\
- darragjm 17y agoI'm surprised they didn't include an option to specify how many faces you want it to detect before taking the picture.
- tocomment 17y agoI agree often you want two people plus the background.
