Cool stuff! For those who want to use Core Image to detect faces in photographs, here is a simple command line tool you might find useful: https://github.com/kachkaev/CICommandLineFaceDetector You can integrate it with all kinds of apps if you want, that’s what it’s actually designed for.

Thanks, guys, for revealing Core Image for me!

I had been trying to do this in real time video, but wasn’t able to bump the speed above ~10fps. Did you have better luck with real time?

Back when I worked as a contractor programmer for NXP Software, before I even worked on iPhone stuff there, I implemented a demo for Mobile World Congress which used face positioning to insert the user’s face in a movie poster; I can’t claim credit for the idea, all credit for that goes to NXP Software marketing (and it might have been done before that), but I got to be the one having fun (some ironic, some non-ironic) with the Windows Mobile 6 phone and the face detection library. Some of the results, such as this: https://picasaweb.google.com/LifeVibesStudio/LifeVibesStudiosMWC2009Monday16th#5303385994183361234 , can still be seen at https://picasaweb.google.com/LifeVibesStudio .

This was a neat-o part of the demo; the only real issue is that the the face coordinates were not consistently positioned enough around the face for insertion to be perfect every time: if you go look the position of the mouth is too low for some of these, for instance. But maybe Apple’s stuff is better in this regard.

Well, of course. Cats are people, too, y’know.

This would be a great way to ensure only MY cats get back in the house through the cat door.

So now we know what a child born of Logan and Cabel would look like?

And no matter how much we drink, we can’t get its image out of our memory?
