Nice project. Does the face

Nice project. Does the face recognition recognize different faces or just tell you “there is A face”?

Thanks for the comments, I

Thanks for the comments, I am interested in converting this to use a single board computer running linux to do the processing, eliminating the need for a wifi transmitter, and enabling the use of a USB wifi adapter if needed for remote control or something else.  If you know of a cheap wifi solution for use with 8-bit microcontrollers please let me know here as it could be useful for other projects.

The OpenCV code looks for

The OpenCV code looks for “faces” and only reports “the biggest face.”  For example a child next to an adult would yeild the coordinates of the adult (assume adult has a larger face).  If the child moves close enough their face is “bigger” and thus the childs coordinates would be used for tracking.  No recognition is implemented, but that is something I am interested in doing along with recognizing other objects.

Making it cheaper than ever

Recently i have modified the project to work on a raspberry Pi and the effective cost came under 60$ there is no need for additional PC an now it has ethernet interface hdmi output. This project has helpd me a lot thank you Rougue. My next idea i to add a Paint ball gun to the project and make a Paint ball Gun turret… but only one problem paint ball guns are not available in india…

Awesome, I’m glad you found

Awesome, I’m glad you found the code useful!  Feel free to share some details or tutorials you found useful for running opencv on your raspberry pi, I’ve been thinking about doing the same on a beagle.
