title: Face Detection in Android?
body: <p>I am currently working on an experimental camera app. I'm looking into implementing face detection at the moment and am currently weighing up my options.</p>
  
  <p>I have considered the OpenCV port available for Android and using their face detection functions, but from demos I have seen of previous implementations, the camera seems to lag a lot.</p>
  
  <p>Considering the camera on the HTC Desire has face detection support, I know it must be possible to get at least a semi-decent face detection system in place. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on how I could get the best results... Using an available library? Implementing a particular algorithm myself?</p>
