Day 12: OpenCV--Face Detection for Java Developers – OpenShift Blog

Today for my 30 day challenge , I decided to learn how to do face detection using the Java programming language. Face detection helps in recognizing human faces in arbitrary (digital) images. After doing some research, I discovered that the OpenCV library can help me detect faces in an image. However, I wasn’t able to find a complete beginner tutorial for using OpenCV library with Java, so this blog might help others looking for an introductory text on this subject. What is OpenCV? OpenCV(Open Source Computer Vision) is an open source computer vision algorithms library. It is written in C/C++, and is designed to take advantage of multiple cores. It provides interfaces for the C++, C, Python and Java programming languages and supports all the major operating system platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS, and Android. Github Repository The code for today’s demo application is available on github: day12-face-detection .
