face detection and recognition algorithm for video surveillance

Started by phuazhenghao July 17, 2006
i am trying to build a face detection and recognition algorithm for
video surveillance in matlab6.5 but i am totally newbie in matlab. I
would like to know what is the best language to write this algorithm
c,c++, java or matlab?

can anyone pls mail me some algorithm on this as a refrence to study?
You might find some relevant algorithms on The Mathworks file central site, if you wish to stay in MATLAB.

My suggestion would be to prototype and code your algorithm in C/C++, and for this I would point you to OpenCV, which has many (if not all) the primitives you'll need to build a bare-bones face detection and recognition algorithm.
