http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/10/...n-a-Nokia-N900

"Researchers at the University of Manchester this week revealed a detailed face tracker that runs in real-time on the Nokia N900 mobile phone. Unlike existing mobile face trackers (video) that give an approximate position and scale of the face, Manchester's embedded Active Appearance Model accurately tracks a number of landmarks on and around the face such as the eyes, nose, mouth and jawline. The extra level of detail that this provides potentially indicates who the user is, where they are looking and how they are feeling. The face tracker was developed as part of a face- and voice-verification system for controlling access to mobile internet applications such as e-mail, social networking and on-line banking."

That's very nice.

May be they can share this face tracker so somebody make an app with fcamera API and this tracker.

His camera quality is great. I wonder if he has a higher spec on his front-cam.

this is really good. A few questions though,

a) why is the image flipped so that right is right and left is left of the person inside the image.
b) is this available to download somewhere, so that we can finally have something like this

guess that depends on the manchester universities policies and attitude toward open source, their goals for completion of this project, and whether or not they're bothered about developing for n900 specifically or merely using it as a means to an end as far as their project is concerned.

or in short... dunno!
