The first Coding4Fun article of René Schulte has been published. The article demonstrates how to implement a simple facial recognition system using Silverlight 4’s new webcam feature.
This article will describe the simple facial recognition method that searches for a certain sized skin color region in a webcam snapshot. This technique is not as perfect as a professional computer vision library like OpenCV and the Haar-like features they use, but it runs in real time and works for most webcam scenarios.
