Hi,

I'm working at a youth center, and i'm always looking for some kind of science project. Now i got an idea that i would like to present for the kids, and its about facial recognition.

I would like to have a camera that do live capture with face recognition. So for example, if someone enter the room, it should be able to say "Welcome back xxx" If a new person enter the room, it should say "I have not seen you before, whats your name" It does not need to be speech recognition at this point, maybe just a recording of the answer. So when it ask the question, it goes to record mode, and when it say "Welcome back xxx", it play the recorded answer.

This mean i need a software or code that can recognize a face, and also save the face for later use, withouth any human interference.

Is this doable with OpenCV?

Thanks in advance

I am more than sure that you can achieve this, with opencv. You will just need a lot of reading and some time to consume :-), depending of course to your experience with coding and in general programming. Moreover, most likely you will need to use more libraries except the OpenCV, since you want to include sound and I guess you will need an api (e.g. Qt, MFC, etc...) for the GUI.

yes, opencv can help you here. the face recognition is already there, all is lacking is that special "without any human interference" part.

any chance, you're into python ?
