Hi Alfian,

if you don't get an error message, then everything should be working OK. If not, here's a few things you may want to check: Have you tested it with the example image I provided? Are the faces in your images large enough (about 25x25 pixels)? Are they somewhat evenly illuminated and frontal (not rotated, no side views)? Have you tried cranking up the detection threshold?

Hope that helps!

hi!

bhupala: the library cannot detect eyes and nose directly. but the face detection result should be a good starting point for where to look for eyes, nose, etc.

james: thanks! the algorithm uses a cascaded classifier, however, unlike viola/jones, it does not use integral images or haar wavelets. i hope i will manage to write up something soon. when that happens, i'll definitely post a link in here. :)

happy holidays!

hi angela,

there is an optional sensitivity parameter, you just call pos = fdlibmex(img, threshold). threshold makes most sense around -10..10.

unfortunately, there are no scores :( however, you can get an idea of the confidence by running the detector again with a higher threshold and checking which detections remain.

good luck!

I tried to run the demo file but got an error "Undefined function or variable fdlibmex"
Do we need to load the dll library and if yes how to do this as the load library function requires a header which is no provided.
Please help.

Great job.

Hi Wolf :)

I was trying to use your code... but it didn't work for any of my test images. I am working with football (soccer) videos.. and I tested on some frames (640X480)...

Image quality is quite ok (not excellent). All are in JPEG extension (not JPG)... but no errors were given... I had to add extra code to change from RGB to Grayscale tho.

Do you know why this is happening? I was expecting it to work because of the many good reviews ure getting. Anyway... I still believe it could work. Maybe I need to add some things here and there? thankx

Very nice work. What database did you use? I work with face recognition I need help to find a large number of train images.

Thanks
