[TriLUG] this is a serious question - how to detect things in photos with Linux

[Charles Fischer]

If you use OpenCV as the recognizer, you may want to use the C++
interface.  IIRC it is more complete than the Perl interface.  You will
have one big challenge using OpenCV.  It needs a lot of images for
training.  On the order of 5 to 10 thousand of both positive and negative
images.  Not to hard to find a face data base, but finding enough naughty
parts images with the correct copyright could be a problem.  It is also
very time consuming to have a UP mark up all of the images.

Thanks for the UPF acronym.

Good luck,
Charles Fischer
