Hi every one.. i am new to opencv.. i want to detect the face using cvsnakeImage algorithm. i know that this is avalible in legacy code. How can i use this function in opencv2.4.9 version using c++.. IF there is any alternative of this algorithm then please help me...

"i want to detect the face using cvsnakeImage algorithm" - how would that work ? it's just a concave hull / line fitting algo.

Like @berak said, there is a reason why not a single researcher out there uses snakes for face detection ... why not use the cascade classifier system introduced by Viola and Jones who use it for robust face detection and which is completely integrated in OpenCV?

well i have used the cascade classifier but its not working properly once a person moving her head,the classifier cannot detect the face .Did you get your answer anywhere?
