I'm embarking on a project that involves creating a online tool to measure the pupillary distance of a person via a webcam/camera still photo. The tricky part has to do with automatic detection of the pupils in the photo. I have little/no experience with image processing of this kind, but I've been doing some research.
So far I'm considering using openCV through node.js using this available library: https://github.com/peterbraden/node-opencv.
Am I at all on the right track? The capabilities of this library seem limited compared to more developed ones for C++/java/python/etc, but the timeline for this project doesn't allow for my learning a new language in the process.
Just wanted to reach out to anyone with more experience with this kind of thing, and any tips/etc are more than welcome. Thanks!
