Please resume Face Recognition works to KDE wiki at this place :

As all others subject relevant of GOsC 2010, create a new sub-page...

Thanks in advance

> Detection:
> I'm tweaking the peopletag project at the moment. It draws it's own
> backgound picture and it is possible to draw and move around rectangles on
> it. I'm completely trashing the nepomuk code from this widget.
> iPhoto does it like this
> : http://www.popgadget.net/images/iphoto_1_blurred.jpg . Unrecognized faces
> are tagged with "unknown".
> Question: digiKam draws it's own preview. Would it be possible to have a
> widget in digiKam that draws the little tag boxes over this preview widget?
> I don't find the idea of opening a separate window for region tagging very
> appealing.
> Recognition:
> Here's how iPhoto does it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3427
> I don't think this should be much of an issue, both iPhoto and Picasa do it
> (almost) this way.
> In Picasa, you can identify unnamed people this way
> : http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3947433848_e32996d70b.jpg
> And you can vote yes/no this way
> : http://andywolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/PicasaFaceFinder.png
> (All revealed by google search)
> Note the people list in the left pane.
> I think recognition should be implemented as shown above. I find it perfect.
> And I think we should also have a people list on the left, like in picasa.
> As for detection, I'm waiting for advice. By the way, the face detection in
> F-Spot (never implemented, incomplete GSoC project) seems to have coded the
> region tagging directly into the main photo viewer widget (as gleaned from
> the student's blog). Should I do that?
