Ask HN: Any OSS for face recognition and/or analysis of a photo?

2 pointsbradleyjoyce2 comments

Wondering if anyone knows of any open source software for recognizing faces in photographs (not just detection but recognizing the same face over and over again)... or that can detect text, ie numbers, inside a photograph?

Thanks!

There is also OpenCV http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki, which I believe has several wrapper libraries that add higher level functionality. PHP, for one, has a face detection library: http://www.xarg.org/project/php-facedetect

The Camellia Library is an open source Image Processing & Computer Vision library. http://camellia.sourceforge.net/
