I have found a tutorial for Python coders http://creatingwithcode.com/howto/face-detection-in-static-images-with-python/ After some tests, it works fine (including René Descartes face : )).

This is going to be very helpful to improve Images for biographies accuracy http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/imagesforbio/

Hi Maarten;

I think that this is a perfect example of open question in wiki research. WikiPapers has a page for that stuff.[1] Can you add some bits there about this?

I dind't know about OpenCV, I will check it for sure, and I will try to something (I'm a bot developer).

Regards,

emijrp

Hi everyone,

Some time ago I played around with computer vision to get images categorized on Commons. I documented this at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill/Using_OpenCV_to_categorize_files . I don't think I'm going to spend time on it soon, but the results were quite promising, so maybe someone else feels like working on this? Would probably be a pretty nice student project or just fun to do.

Maarten
