David Cristinacce - Face Detection Demo

Face Detection Demo

Face tracking demo software, which demonstrate the methods described on my publications page. You need MS Windows XP (may work on Vista? -not sure) and a web camera with the correct driver installed. A screen shot from the application is shown below:-

Frames from the webcam are searched to detect the face in the image (shown by green box). Then smaller feature detectors are applied to find internal face features, such as the eyes and mouth (shown by green dots).

nb To achieve a reasonable frame rate the demo requires a fast computer. For example a 2.0GhZ Processor is probably the minimum spec required. Also a webcam with the correct drivers installed on your PC is required for the demo to work!

The demo is written in C++ using the VXL imaging libraries and the QT gui libraries.
