Hi, As part of a project I've added facial identification and recognition features to F-Spot 0.4.1. I'd like to contribute as much code as possible back upstream, in a way that's useful and easy to integrate. Some of the modifications I made to support the features are rather deep in the F-Spot code and not well suited to being put in a plugin. One of the feature's I've heard requested be added to F-Spot is the support for tagging regions of a photo. Based on the work I have already done, modifying it to support that would not be too difficult.
If this is something people think would be worthwhile, and something likely to be integrated to the tree, I'd be happy to go ahead and implement it. Once the functionality exists for tagging regions of photos, it may be possible to implement the rest of the facial functionality as a plugin as low-level libfspot changes will already be in place to support drawing boxes around regions and obtaining cursor coordinates over an image. Some of the functionality I've added locally can be seen in the video at http://confucius.ca/edp/SampleVids/Feb17-2008.mpg (~8mb). It's since been improved in a number of ways, but it should be possible to get an idea on how tagging regions may work. Any advice on things that may be contributed back are welcome, and thanks for providing a solid base for implementing this project, -Rob _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
