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.

Hey guys, i'm trying to build an app for desktop that can detect and recognize faces with OpenCV 2.4.4. All i want to know is, is it possible to build it in Java? can you help me with some samples, or just telling me which classes i'll need? I know nothing of C++, and i'm trying to learn it to make my way a little bit easier, but i need to build the project in Java and Eclipse.

Thanks in advance.
