Smile Detection (Any alternative other than OpenCV ?)

Is there any library alternative to OpenCV which detects smile.

I dont want to use OpenCV as it sometimes fails to detect faces due to background.

Any one knw other library ? other than OpenCV ?

Solution

  • I would recommend having a look at The Machine Perception Toolbox (MPT Library). I had a chance to play with it a bit at an Openframeworks OpenCV workshop at Goldsmiths and there is a c++ smile detection sample available.

    I imagine you can try the MPT Library for iPhone with openframeworks or simply link to the library from an iphone project.

    sometimes fails to detect faces due to background.

    An ideal lighting setup will guarantee better results, but given that you want to use this on a mobile device, you must inform your users that smile detection might fail under extreme conditions (bad lighting)
