Revision history [back]

If you want to do true face recognition rather than simple face detection, and you want to use ROS, check out the most excellent cob_people_detection packages. These packages take full advantage of the depth information from the Kinect to first look for "head-like" blobs which are likely to contain faces. You can then train the system to recognize different faces by giving each face a name and taking a number of snapshots from different angles.
