Hi all,
A friend of mine is doing work in experimental psychology with change
blindness and so she's working with a number of faces that she's
culled from photographs and having graded (preliminarily) according to
similarity/distinctiveness by people outside the experiment. The
mechanics of the experiment don't really matter, but the first thing I
thought was that having an objective computerized measure of
similarity would be beneficial (or at least interesting) to have.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any facial recognition software that
would be available for free for research purposes. Ideally I'm
looking for a complete application rather than an algorithm, but if
anyone has any other ideas or references to which they could point me,
I would be most grateful since this is out of my area of expertise.
Thanks,
Matt

"About thirty years ago there was much talk that geologists ought only
to observe and not theorize; and I well remember someone saying that
at this rate a man might as well go into a gravelpit and count the
pebbles and describe the colors. How odd it is that anyone should not
see that all observation must be for or against some view if it is to
be of any service!"
-Charles Darwin, in an 1861 letter to Henry Fawcett.
