INTRO

Trying to get faces anonymization on video images we've been
first using Transcode with OpenCV. We don't use that code anymore
but you can take a look to the result in the first video
on the test page. Videos on that page can be scaled to understand
how OpenCV's cascade whorks.


STATE OF THE PROJECT

There are two git repositories using our facedetect.c code for video plugins by now
The first called "gst-opencv" is mantained mainly by Mike Sheldon.
The Gstreamer plugin is not actually updated with our last facedetect, but it can be used in pitivi (Lucid default video editor); this version only detects faces, it doesn't follow them.
This means that it is able to detect more faces but may not detect the same face in two near frames; an idea of what's wrong with that is shown in the second and third video here.
This "face-detect" work is done thanks to Cascade's technology.

Also frei0r has now a plugin to blur faces and the last video
on the video test page is his; Open Movie Editor actually runs that plugin.
Frei0r has implemented the last version of our facedetect.c code
that merges the cascade and camshift function from OpenCV to
follow faces through frames.
