These are the face-tools, a suite of tools for face detection and face
recognition.

Installation
============
Drop the executables (face_find face_learn face_sort face2fspot
check_dups) to somewhere in your $PATH, and the man-pages (*.1) to
someplace in your $MANPATH.

The executables are Python scripts packed with squeeze
(http://effbot.org/zone/squeeze.htm), so you need Python to run
those.  You will also need at least the following Python packages:

Prerequisites
=============
python-opencv: The SWIG Python Interface which came with opencv before
               release 2.2, and of course a matching opencv
pca_module:    Get this from http://folk.uio.no/henninri/pca_module/
PIL:           The Python Imaging Library.  Get this from
               http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
pyexiv2:       a python binding to exiv2 (and of course exiv2) --- get
               the former from http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/, and the
               latter from http://exiv2.org/
numpy:         get this from http://numpy.scipy.org/
pylab:         get this from http://www.scipy.org/PyLab

Usage
=====
1) Call "face_find -r" on the directory(s) containing all your images.
   Go away for a long time...
2) Call "face_learn".  Go away some more.
3) Call "face_sort".  Try to weed out as many of your non-face images
   as possible.
4) Call "face_learn" again.
5) Call "face_sort" again, labelling the remaining face-images.

This is alpha code.  It works for me, but will probably fry your
harddisk.  use at your own risk.  You have been warned.  Do not blame
me.  But let me know what you think (good or bad):
