Facial Recognition in Java/Processing

Question

I am doing a project that requires some facial recognition. I am attempting to find a Java implementation of this. I am not looking for facial detection. We are trying to do fac

Answer 1

Although quite old question but still relevant.

You can use opencv library. Although its written in C++. But it offers java bindings too. Only drawback is you will have to build java bindings yourself. Here is one article written by myself which explains the procedure to build the java bindings and sample programs for facial recognition.

Answer 2

To complete the answer: A repository of Processing examples for ITP fall workshop about face detection, recognition, and miscellaneous tracking methods.

• Face-It by Shiffman

Answer 3

I am working on the Face Detection/ Face Recognition topic as well. I can recommend the following links for Face Recognition:

Direct Java Implementations:

• JavaFaces: A Java Implementation of Face Recognition with Eigenfaces
• Explanation and Refactoring of the above library
• Article Face Recognition using Eigenfaces

Implementation with OpenCV so you could use JavaCV to implement FR in Java:

• OpenCV implementation of Face Recognition

I used the first approach - using javafaces directly. If you accomplish using OpenCV/JavaCV to make FR work give me a hint please.

Cheers

Answer 4

For Processing, I recommend the OpenCV for Processing Library. Easy to use and with a lot of examples.
