I apologize for posting this in a few places - I’m still not really sure where this belongs.
I am trying to build an app with real time face detection. The images/frames don’t need to be captured and saved anywhere - all that’s required is that faces are detected in the field of view that the camera is currently ‘seeing’. Any clues on how Corona could be used to do this!?!

When you say you are trying, what you mean is: you thought it was a neat idea and naïvely thought you could do it.
I don’t think it is possible using corona. [import]uid: 79135 topic_id: 19864 reply_id: 77129[/import]
Apple has built in face detection in ios 5, corona has no hooks for it yet. Make a feature request or use objC.
No automatic android support, you would have to save images and process with your own algorithm. [import]uid: 110373 topic_id: 19864 reply_id: 77146[/import]
Thanks for the quick reply.
I should make it clear - I have my own face detection algorithm. I am just looking for a way to access the datastream from the camera. [import]uid: 115057 topic_id: 19864 reply_id: 77183[/import]
“you thought it was a neat idea and naïvely thought you could do it.” - I have the code implemented in Java on my desktop - it was part of a course project. I did not claim I thought I could do it in Corona :). That was pretty much the question I asked :). [import]uid: 115057 topic_id: 19864 reply_id: 77182[/import]
