Class FaceFinder

java.lang.Object
  blobs.FaceFinder

All Implemented Interfaces:

AdjustableVariables

public class FaceFinder

extends java.lang.Object

implements AdjustableVariables

Author:

Dan O'Sullivan This finds heads and faces. It finds heads by looking first for skin. If you cannot control the background, there is an option for only looking for skin tones after the background is removed. After it finds good sized blobs of skin, it tries to find just the top part of the blob, the head. After it find the top, it tries to find the eyes as being dark and non skin blobs within the face. After it finds the eyes, it reasses the boundries of the head based on proportions It also averages recent readings to give a more stable head. It computes the rotation of the head based on the eyes. It can optionally grab a picture of the face.
