To all,

This is my vision for Faces auto tagging...

If you use Facebook, you can mark people face over images. this is simple and
great. I think it's the first step to do: added a small to tool to mark face
manually in digiKam. For this stage, i know somebody in Mandriva who have work
on this subject...

The second step, is to implement a tool to use current faces database done
manually to be abble to find automatically similar faces over the whole
collection of image. This can be done also during image downloading from
camera...

For this second step, OpenCv can be used to parse image contents and detect
face. Of course we need another algorthim somewhere to create faces
fingerprints and compare faces one by one. For me it's sond similar than Haar
stuff, but using more precision and details.

Perhaps, OpenCv provide something like this. Here i don't know.

What do you think about ?

Gilles
