Face.com Free Detect Faces in Pictures Alternative

- Only detect faces - OpenCV implementation HaarClassifierCascade (initial) - REST service - NO Business Model (PayPal donate for maintenance) - GPL code in GitHub - Feel free to parcipate

Is this just for face detection or for face recognition as well?

Face detection is a pretty much solved problem IMO and running OpenCV locally is a simple enough solution.

What I will miss about face.com is the face recognition. It was state of the art, lightning fast, and free. The eigenfaces implementation in OpenCV doesn't even come close.

I don't get the title... I know what it is (it was mentioned on the other topic about face.com shutting down free API), but the title of this submission doesn't make any sense to me. I read it maybe five times and still can't understand what it means.
