Hi there, this is Ali Servet Donmez from Italy. I simply need to know if there's enough interests having face detection/recognition in F-Spot implemented? I need to know this, because I just proposed a thesis project for my Computer Science graduation and before giving my final decision to the professor I need to be sure that someone really really wants this. Also, and most importantly, I need to hear from at least one fairly experienced F-Spot developer if she/he could give me the support that I will need during this journey. Like coding standards for F-Spot, guiding during the development of an extension (or instead bundle this into the F-Spot directly instead of writing a separate extension), whom to talk to and how to get this thing into the main trunk of F-Spot, which programming language should I code, and so on... Please remember that the decision has to be made by sunday night (13.09.2009) so can I can apply early on monday morning. I know this is not too much time, but you have to make your decision as quick as possible please. My possible _initial_ (I should stop at a certain point if I want to graduate right?) solution to the problem goes like this (please add yours in case you have objections or better ideas): * OpenCV for face detection on static images * Face recognition/identificaton somehow [optional] (will discuss with the professor if that's possible to accomplish until deadline for thesis consignation) * Scan faces on/off once for all the image archive you've got * Region tagging (with highlighting) on detected faces Make some noise! P.S.: if you ever worked on this before (Maxxer, Robert Paskowitz, Andrzej Wytyczak-Partyka from [1] are few names that I've came to know) please don't be silent.
