Facial Recognition

Hello all,

I hope someone can point me in the correct direction. I wonder if anyone knows of a simple facial recognition package or class that can simply detect a face in a picture. I’ve done a ton of research looking for it and have found many things.

I’ve found a few opencv ports (marilena) from 2007-2009, some posts here from 2007 saying it’s too hard, “deface” that looks super-intense and probably more than I want with no working examples, and everything seems to be in Flex. A lot of the stuff I have found is in video and I’m looking for something that would work with still pictures.

http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/media/automatically-tag-photos-with-the-as3-face-recognition-library/ is the closest I have found, but when you try the demo, half the time it didn’t work for me.

So, I’m looking for a class that can simply take in an image, convert to bitmapData and return coordinates on where a (singular) face is found.

Thanks!
