Happy thoughts. :D
Note that face detection alone doesn't work well for all images, so we should also have a way for images to override the focal point for cropping purposes. This could be implemented as parser functions that save page properties (thus giving them standard editing/versioning/audit trail) and give them a nice user-friendly UI for seeing/overriding the crop points. -- brion On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 12:20 PM, Greg Grossmeier <[email protected]> wrote: > This was going to be my question during the dev summit: why *don't* we do > this, and improve our detection over time (and retroactively) instead of > relying on user's devices? > > Which is a long way of saying: +1 :) > > -- > Sent from my phone, please excuse brevity. > On Feb 3, 2015 12:10 PM, "Max Semenik" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Problem: while apps have face detection available from iOS and Android >> for use in lead image positioning/cropping, mobile web doesn't have it, and >> even for apps detection is quite slow, resulting in battery drain and >> UX-problematic slowdown, especially on low-end Android devices. >> >> With Dmitry's help, I discovered Android's face detection library sources >> ([1], separated out to a standalone library at [2]).
