Facial recognition for users

hello. Nice to meet you.

library :

1. Deep Vision
2. OpenCV for Processing  
link: [opencv-processing/examples/WhichFace/WhichFace.pde at master · cansik/opencv-processing · GitHub](https://github.com/cansik/opencv-processing/blob/master/examples/WhichFace/WhichFace.pde)

Q1. It is easy to recognize human faces through the ‘Library’.  
Q2. However, it is difficult to compare people by matching their faces. In other words, we want to save an image of a person and later determine if it is that person through ‘live cam’.

Do you have any advice or an easy way to solve it?

> Hi! I’m working on a project for university and I’m having some difficulties with Processing. Concept: There are two pictures and the program makes a transition by transparency from one picture to another, by moving the mouse from left to right. The program is working but from now, I’d like to use something better than the mouse to make the transition between both pictures. I’d like to use a webcam to make people interact with my work. Basically, if somebody is on the left, Picture A appears. …

> Hello I have a project in image processing to detect faces from a webcam on you laptop and give ID or names to these face based on previous images saved Can anyone please help me? I’m done with the part where I can detect faces but matching the faces with old images is really hard Please if you can help me I would be grateful Thanks

@jafal

Thank you for answer.  
‘FaceRekognition’ seems to have expired.

I reccommmend creating a separate Java class on its own thread for face matching.

At its heart, facial recognition and matching are just pattern matching.

OpenCV and Java appear not to be friends.

Use C++ or Python.

I love Java, but it was not really intended for use with OpenCV.
