Some web platform, like Facebook, Google+, Google Glass, or cameras software are implementing face recognition. FBI, CIA and others government polices are using right now face recognition.
For this example we are using SimpleCV, an open source framework builh in Python, for machine vision. You can get it and install it like a python module.
I have commented every line, but if want to explore you can read the API Doc.
SimpleCV is very easy, just 9 lines to recognizing a face in a picture.
Imaging to merge drones and face recognition? Keep hacking. See you.
