Fun With Face Detection
I’ve seen attempts at duplicating Apple’s face detection technology. (Apple is far from the first company to do it.) There are libraries on GitHub and various blog posts for doing so. But recently I realized that Apple added support for face detection in OS X Lion and iOS 5. It seemed to slip under my radar of new shiny things. Developers now have a direct link to this powerful technology on both platforms right out of the proverbial box.
