[Libface-general] Future Updates

[Alex J. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I don't mean to be pissy and annoying about this, but the recent changes to the face detection in particular have been really poor and almost undone the progress I made in making it better. 

Sensitivity vs specificity simply doesn't work and speed is even slower. Moreover we are still utilising old functions like finalFaces. The problem with that is this: We use 1 cascade and the purpose of fine tuning the parameters is so we don't have duplicates in an image. This renders finalFaces completely useless and it will be deleted.

Now I really appreciate everyones work especially on the memory leaks and making interface better, but we are bloating library already with unnecessary stuff and its not even complete yet.


So if you have improvements in terms of fixing bugs or tidying things up, thats great and please do submit them, it will really help the library. But please leave detection and recognition alone. Or at least for now so I can stabilise it. If you have a really burning idea, create a branch edit things there and we can discuss the changes then merge.



Thanks

Alex
