Hey guys, i have some simple questions, i'm a beginner in the programming world and i'm trying to use OpenCV to build an Face detection and recognition app.
I intend to build the following:
1 - the webcam is turned on, the capted image is displayed in the screen showing a rectangle around the detected face;
2 - The detected face image is stored to be used in comparisons later;
3 - The program shall be able to detect and compare(recognize) the face detected to the previously stored face images;
And that's it.
I'm a little bit lost, so here goes some questions:
Details: I'm using Eclipse in Windows 7.
1 - How do i include a haar cascades xml into my project? 2 - How do i train the haar cascades in java (Which classes can help me)? 3 - How can i activate my webcam and capture video with openCV? 4 - How can i make the face recognition in real time? 5 - How can i take a picture with my webcam using opencv? 6 - How can i make the face recognition with the previously stored face images?
I'm sorry if i'm asking too much, but i know nothing about C++(the "native" language of OpenCV i guess) and i must do it in Java, i know it's too much questions(some of them might be stupid) but i didn't found any tutorial or questions that could help me.
Anything that can be answered will help.
Thanks in advance.
