It&#039;s under PHP Module Capabilities.





As far as it working, it worked the last I tried it.  Looking at the page you linked to, it looks like the code is the same as in Ansel&#039;s facedetect face driver, so I don&#039;t see any reason why it wouldn&#039;t. That being said, I don&#039;t have it installed at the moment. 



1) Be sure your running the latest CVS code either HEAD or FW_3 should be fine

2) Make sure you actually select the desired face driver in Ansel&#039;s configuration.</description>

default checkout would be HEAD right?

I have this...



$conf[&#039;faces&#039;][&#039;defs&#039;] = &#039;/usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml&#039;;

$conf[&#039;faces&#039;][&#039;driver&#039;] = &#039;facedetect&#039;;

$conf[&#039;faces&#039;][&#039;search&#039;] = &#039;7&#039;;



opencv is detected and the xml file is at location above</description>

   <description>The compile so module name changed, so we were checking for the wrong module name.



Fixed in the sense that no errors are returned, and the function calls into the library work, but I haven&#039;t been able to get it to recognize anywhere near as many faces as the openCV library does.  I would suggest using that  module as opposed to the facedetect module.</description>

*sigh* well, that&#039;s disappointing.  I&#039;ll try to dig around google to see if I can find any new hosts for that project.



Duck, do you have any idea where it might have gone?

Yea, definitely not very successful. The function calls into the library &quot;work&quot; and don&#039;t throw any errors, so there&#039;s not much we can do about that on our side.</description>

   <description>Ok. Driver actually works now.



However, the issues that I remember from when I first started playing with this are still there. The things that it calls faces are sometimes quite funny.



I think I&#039;ve gone just about as far as I can with this though.</description>
