Face detection and good features to track

Featuring my bathrobe!

In the end, I have to not just find what's fore- and what's background, I need to find and follow people or their faces or their eyes. Detecting faces is easy, following could be based on detecting a face each frame, but it's easier and more stable to find good features in a face area and track them using optical flow. At the moment I'm just finding good features each time I detect a face - to get a feel of what that's like, will be tracking the face movements in the next episode...

[Andalver123]

what software did you use????? can it work on any camera???

[femistofel]

@Andalver123 this is a combination of OpenCV and OpenFrameworks.

It can use most common USB / FireWire cameras, depending on the OS support.
