I am doing a project that requires some facial recognition. I am attempting to find a Java implementation of this. I am not looking for facial detection. We are trying to do facial recognition through a live camera feed.

Is there any way to implement this in Java or Processing?

At the moment the only ones I have been able to find are in some type of C, which is not going to work for me.

I am working on the Face Detection/ Face Recognition topic as well. I can recommend the following links for Face Recognition:

Direct Java Implementations:

Implementation with OpenCV so you could use JavaCV to implement FR in Java:

I used the first approach - using javafaces directly. If you accomplish using OpenCV/JavaCV to make FR work give me a hint please.

Cheers

    Hello, I'm trying to use JavaFaces and I currently have it running on Eclipse on my Mac. But every time I run it, and choose a directory it says 'select a directory'. Does this come with a manual or something? Thanks – Oliver Jones Oct 19 '12 at 15:14

For Processing, I recommend the OpenCV for Processing Library. Easy to use and with a lot of examples.

To complete the answer: A repository of Processing examples for ITP fall workshop about face detection, recognition, and miscellaneous tracking methods.

Although quite old question but still relevant.

You can use opencv library. Although its written in C++. But it offers java bindings too. Only drawback is you will have to build java bindings yourself. Here is one article written by myself which explains the procedure to build the java bindings and sample programs for facial recognition.
