choosing best opencv facial detector

Question

I am very new to opencv and able to install it so far. I want to compare a face with other different faces available in library and to find out the closest match. I have tried different features but couldn't find the closer answer.

Any suggestion to choose a detector.

dimensions of input image and images in library are same.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

i think, you want face recognition (who is it?), not detection (is it a face?).

look here for what opencv has to offer there
