Face Detection jQuery Plugin

Face detection is a computer technology that determines the locations and sizes of human faces in arbitrary (digital) images. It detects facial features and ignores anything else, such as buildings, trees and bodies. Recently blogfreak has published script for face detection with php (writen by Maurice) and face detection with javascript (created by Liu Liu, Chinese developer).

Today we found another resource for face detection which is released as jQuery plugin. This jQuery plugin created by Jay Salvat, uses an algorithm by Liu Liu. This plugin is forked from Liu Liu github, and I think it will be handy for jQuery users to implement face detection feature on their apps.

      We can use this script to tagging people, for example on facebook, we dont need to select people one by one, this script is automatically detect face.

    The plugin is just a wrapper for a function coded by Liu Liu, you can find it here: http://liuliu.me/detect/detect.html

    As it’s using the canvas object it will run only with browsers that support it, like Firefox 3.6, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

    @Mufti Ali: the function can “only” detect a face in an image, it can’t guess who is and tag him/her.
