Hi, I went through the face.com developer documentation in bit more detail. And I also looked in to the java client library for face.com API. But I couldn't find any documentation yet on using that java client. But in some discussion forums I saw some have already used the java client successfully.
So I downloaded the client and its dependencies and tried to use it after occupying a face.com API key and an API secret. It was awesome. I did a sample code to detect (not recognizing) faces and it worked. When I have a crowded image with more than 15, 20 people it exactly identifies the people count and I could even get attributes such as who wears glasses and who smiles and etc. I am looking on how we can use facebook friends list (or even a private name space) and train the face.com index to recognize a given picture domain by using the java client. ( which I feel, is the basic functionality expected by the idea, adding face recognition to photark, on photark road map.) -- Regards Subash Chaturanga Department of Computer Science & Engineering University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka Blog - http://subashsdm.blogspot.com/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/subash89
