Very well done, could you please tell where to find your code? I'm doing something similar (fight detection), and have problems with detecting heads...

@kuicets There is a silly youtube spam policy that forbids to put links in comments, but look up 'headcounter' on bitbuckets. org to find it. It is a bit old and I did not have time to maintain it lately. Some people told me that with the latest versions of opencv, it doesn't work very well.

@YvesQuemener Does it work, when you can't see the face?

[YvesQuemener]

@kuicets : No. It counts the number of faces detected in the image and tries to count only once every different face.

@szproxy don't hesitate to ask me (my email is on the website) if you have problems using it. I really need user input.

@YvesQuemener Tested. Its very cool.

@szproxy : OpenCV's haar detector. Modified a bit to work faster on smaller heads. Look for "headcounter" and "bitbucket" to find my (open source) software.

Which algorithm?
