Can anybody please help to choose openframeworks addon for face detection. there seems to be several ways in OF to detect face for e.g. ofxfacetracker, ofxARToolKit and ofHaarfinder etc.
I need to detect for augmented reality app, which addon should I use for real-time tracking?
Hi, ofxFaceTracker2 and ofxFaceTracker are both very good and not so expensive for a modern machine. Both have a lot of examples. These differ on their impleementation. These will give you face land marks information.
haarfinder is the most basic and oldest. It will just give you a bounding box for a face that is looking straight into the camera. It has a lot of chances that it will not work, all though it should be the least computationally intensive one.
I dont know if ofxARToolKit supports a face tracker, although it looks a bit outdated. I’d say that you try them all. And see which one performs the best.
