Now it is time for us to get into a really neat application. We'll start off by using the open source package http://www.aforgenet.com/ to build a face and motion detection application. To do this, you'll need to have a camera installed in your system to see live streaming video. From there, we will use that camera to detect faces as well as motion. In this chapter, we are going to show two separate examples: one for facial detection, the other for motion detection. We'll show you exactly what goes on, and just how fast you can add these capabilities into your application.
In this chapter, we will cover such topics as:
- Facial detection
- Motion detection
- How to use the local video-integrated camera
- Image filtering/algorithms
Let's start out with facial detection. In our example, I'm going to use my friendly little French bulldog...
