Hey all.

Happy new year!

So anyway, i'm looking at giving facial detection and recognition a go, I know people have done it in c++ and I believe its been done in c# however I need it in vb.net.
Does anyone know of any resources that I can use? advice? even code snippets?

Cheers
guys

hey Alex! try looking here: Face recognition in VB.Net
and: Download Vbnet Face Recognition Source Codes, Vbnet Face Recognition Scripts - Luxand FaceSDK by Luxand Contact, ABBYY FineReader Engine by ABBYY and more...

Good luck ~ Committed

Hey cheers for the help. Open CV looks epic!
Im considering learning c++ at the moment becuase VB doesnt seem to have the capacity to handle this type of project and i intended to make it a business prospect in the future.
Cheers though i appreciate it.

No problem, and yes C++ would be a good choice as its very powerful, and VB sometimes lacks this feature.

Off topic but I hear c++ is a ridiciously hard language to learn, is that true?
Any advice you an offer such as tutorial websites or something along those lines?

[CommittedC0der]

C++ is a hard language, but since you've been programing in VB for a while hopefully it won't be to hard for you to pick up the syntax.

As for tutorials this is a good video website: XoaX.net Console C++ Video Tutorials

And these looked ok: C++ Language Tutorial

Anyway Good Luck ~ Committed. :)

This is a good site to start at. It gives all the basics like variables, loops, and if statements. C++ basics
