Gilles,

I'm not a specialist in OpenCV, too. I used it once (this is two years ago),
but not very indeep. I can tell you how to use the built-in face detection, but
you can read about this on a lot of webpages, too. Actually this is just 10
lines of code.

To be honest, I don't know if I am the right guy for this. I've been with
digikam for 8 months now, but still have not done big things with the source
code. I'm not so familiar with the code (without the indexer of Eclipse CDT I
wouldn't find anything ;-)). I sure could try to assist you with OpenCV, but
maybe someone else should be the mentor. By the way: even if you use OpenCV,
you have to program the face recognition by yourself, there is no such feature
in the library, at least I haven't seen one. So just relying on OpenCV doesn't
help here :-) You must find your own ways to recognize faces.
