Face module changelog {#face_changelog}
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release 0.05
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This library is now included in the official OpenCV distribution (from 2.4 on). The
|
|
|
|
|
cv::FaceRecognizer is now an Algorithm, which better fits into the overall OpenCV API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To reduce the confusion on user side and minimize my work, libfacerec and OpenCV have been
|
|
|
|
|
synchronized and are now based on the same interfaces and implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The library now has an extensive documentation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The API is explained in detail and with a lot of code examples.
|
|
|
|
|
- The face recognition guide I had written for Python and GNU Octave/MATLAB has been adapted to
|
|
|
|
|
the new OpenCV C++ cv::FaceRecognizer.
|
|
|
|
|
- A tutorial for gender classification with Fisherfaces.
|
|
|
|
|
- A tutorial for face recognition in videos (e.g. webcam).
|
|

### Release highlights
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Release 0.04
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version is fully Windows-compatible and works with OpenCV 2.3.1. Several bugfixes, but none
|
|
|
|
|
influenced the recognition rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Release highlights
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A whole lot of exceptions with meaningful error messages.
|
|
|
|
|
- A tutorial for Windows users:

Release 0.03
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reworked the library to provide separate implementations in cpp files, because it's the preferred
|
|
|
|
|
way of contributing OpenCV libraries. This means the library is not header-only anymore. Slight API
|
|
|
|
|
changes were done, please see the documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Release highlights
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New Unit Tests (for LBP Histograms) make the library more robust.
|
|
|
|
|
- Added more documentation.
