Is facial recognition possible in Android OpenCV? I know face detection can be done. I have the source code to prove it. However can I take a picture and then state who it is or even if their face is in the database? This would be a great help.
unfortunately, you can't use the opencv-facerecognition from java yet. (but hopefully soon - got a pull request running for this)
"I have the source code to prove it" - i got that code, too ;)
face detection is the first step you want, anyway, then crop the face-rect, resize to some fixed size, say 90x90, equalizeHist(), and then save it to sdcard.
ofc., if you're good with jni/ndk, you can build your own wrappers for the c++ facerecognition.
if not so, i'd suggest, you use a plain norm(a,b,NORM_L2) for the comparison for now, and swap that part against the real facereco, once it's available
Thanks berak. That code didn't work for me but it's good to know that I can't get facial recognition so I don't waste my time. I'll keep an eye out for when facial recognition does become possible. Do you have any idea when it will be available, in the next month, year....? Thanks again. That's a big help.
