Description

This program is part of a Baby Builder project.

Face Detector uses the open source library opencv to achieve that goal.  The procedure is similar to this:

  • Open the image
  • Resize greater images to a predefined width and height
  • Convert the image to gray-scale
  • Normalise brightness and increases contrast of the image
  • Find the faces

Of course with this approach could be fake detections on the picture* but Face Detector is smart enough to avoid those fake detections.

* Screen shots provided also include fake detections.
