Face Detection is not that hard, and there are ready-to-use classifiers as well
in the OpenCV package.
But unfortunately those classifiers are only working very precisely when using
for frontal faces. If the head is turned to the left or right or if hair hides
some parts of the face, detection fails.

The much harder part is face recognition and I don't know how to make it learn
the classifier that fast. As I trained the classifier for eyes (RemoveRedEyes
plugin), it took two weeks to extract the features. The classifier isn't even
that good, I might need to train another.

I really don't know how Picasa is going to do this.
