I know what you're talking about but I think you just failed to read the second paragraph of the post.

> I'm using OpenCV for detecting the faces and a rough Eigenfaces Algorithm for the recognition now. But I thought there should be something out there with a better performance then a self written Eigenfaces Algorithm.

Does this sound like a "plz send me teh codez" to you?




Yes, I did read the whole thing. He asked, tell me what library to use. That was the whole question. It was very much a 'do my research for me' question.

"I want to do this. Tell me what library to use."

"What is better ..." questions are closed on SO for the same reason.


I think it was more a:

"There are probably people out there who already know all of this information and are willing to share it" question.

I find it curious that you don't see asking peers for their opinion as a valid form of research.
