With the upcoming release of iPhoto`09 boasting Face Detection and Face Recognition technology, there’s been alot of buzz about how this works. Well, there’s alot of great resources gathered around the internet about this very topic.
Face recognition is not so much about face recognition at all – it is much more about face detection! It is my (and many others’) strong belief, that the prior step to face recognition, the accurate detection of human faces in arbitrary scenes, is the most important process involved. When faces could be located exactly in any scene, the recognition step afterwards would not be so complicated. That is why this page tries to gather all available information and material about the task of detecting faces!
So, for your reading pleasure, here’s a collection of links to get you started on how Face Detection works.
