In my application I'm going to implement an image search like Google image search. Only difference is here I'm searching only for human faces. Here's how it goes..
- user take a picture of a person using the camera.
- my app should identify the face of that person and get details from the image regarding the face (eg: colors).
- Using those details app will do a search in the image database for similar faces.
- Finally it'll display results to the user.
So I want to recognize faces using Android face recognition class and select that recognized area and save the details of that face into an array or a database.
I got few questions on above scenario.
- what are the things I need from that image to do a proper image search?
- Can I do it only using colors?
- Do you have any idea on getting pixel details from that recognized face? I know how to do it on bitmap images. But i'm not sure that method still works with the face recognition class.
Can anyone explain those thing to me please?
