This web page contains information of face detection works. As a first step to encourage researchers to embark on this topic, we also provide some sample code, scripts, and plots to develop face detection systems. Consequently, this page does not contain all the detailed information that you may need. Nevertheless, we think it contains "substantial" information that you will find useful in developing face detection methods.
I had some fun with Gary Bishop’s OpenCV Python wrapper this morning. I wanted to try out OpenCV for detecting faces using a web cam. This could be used for instance to see if someone is sitting behind his desk or not. I used Gary’s Python wrapper since I didn’t want to code in C++.
