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 ?
