<h1>Face detection</h1>

These are some quick experiemnts on face detection, the code was written from scratch in about 2 hours, using this group photo to test:

One of the guys on the back row (4th from the right)  is cut out as an exemplar template.  A crude double-or loop is used to search for the template at all horizontal and vertical positions (no scaling or rotation).  It takes about 5 minutes to run in matlab.  Template checking is done by normalising the histogram means and variences for each candidate area, and for the template.  A threshold output is used, and the active areas are reduced to points with erosion.  The output looks like this:

Note it doesnt do too well on bald heads, beards, long hair, people standing sideways-on, and people at the front, whose scales are different.

The only fiddle parameter used was the activation threshold.

The matlab code is available, contact me if you're interested.
