hi,

i'm trying to get your library to work with 2 simultaneous FaceDetects, one for front face detection another for profile face.

the problem is that only the latter works.

im my tests i saw that the problem is in the cascade xml detection: fdSide.start("haarcascade_profileface.xml", width, height, 20);
it assumes only the last loaded cascade.

it seems like the cascade is a singleton static variable, so there can be only one.

can you tell me if my assumption is true and if so is there a way you can change this so we can have many facedetects at the same time?

the code i'm using:
import JMyron.*;
import FaceDetect.*;

FaceDetect fdFront;
FaceDetect fdSide;

int MAX = 10;
JMyron m;

int w = 640;
int h = 480;

int[] x = new int[MAX];
int[] y = new int[MAX];
int[] r = new int[MAX];

int[][] FrontFaces = new int[MAX][3];
int[][] SideFaces = new int[MAX][3];

int[] img = new int[w*h];

PImage face_img; // 160x247
PFont font;

void setup(){

size(w,h);
m = new JMyron();
m.start(width,height);

fdFront = new FaceDetect(this);
fdFront.start("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml", width, height, 20);

fdSide = new FaceDetect(this);
fdSide.start("haarcascade_profileface.xml", width, height, 20);

strokeWeight(2);
stroke(255,200,0);
noFill();

face_img = loadImage("smilingface_big.png");

font = loadFont("BitstreamVeraSansMono-Roman-12.vlw");
textFont(font);

}

void draw(){

background(0);
m.update();
img = m.image();
loadPixels();
arraycopy(img,pixels);
updatePixels();

SideFaces = fdSide.face(img);
int sideCount = SideFaces.length;
if (sideCount>0) {
for (int i = 0;i<sideCount;i++) {
x[i] = SideFaces[i][0];
y[i] = SideFaces[i][1];
r[i] = SideFaces[i][2];
ellipse(x[i],y[i],r[i],r[i]);
}
}

FrontFaces = fdFront.face(img);
int frontCount = FrontFaces.length;
if (frontCount>0) {
for (int i = 0;i<frontCount;i++) {
x[i] = FrontFaces[i][0];
y[i] = FrontFaces[i][1];
image(face_img, x[i]-80, y[i]-150);
}
}

String s = "Front Faces: " + Integer.toString(frontCount) +
" | Side Faces: " + Integer.toString(sideCount);

fill(255, 255, 0);
text(s, 20, height - 20);
noFill();
}
