Face detection with OS X and python

FYI, there are OpenCV-based face detection nodes in ROS (Robot Operating System by Willow Garage) that publish the detected face positions using a stereo pair (which prunes false positives based on face depth/size estimates). Slightly modified to use one camera or a Kinect, and you would have a python consumer node that requires a mere 5 lines of Python code. ;-)

thanks for the link, very interesting - stereo cameras would never have occurred to me, but obvious in hindsight. If i can get my hands on another camera I'll give it a shot.
