Over a dozen experiments, the recognition rate for faces seems to be about 70%. Example of failure: only 2 faces detected here (in particular NOT the one in focus) http://iamdaveknockles.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/meeting_j...

This is worse than OpenCV (I thought you were using OpenCV but apparently aren't?)



Similar result with the image below. It got four of six faces, missing the most important of the faces.

If you read the description on the site, you'd know that the face detection stops after finding 4 faces.


How would I know that? I don't read documentation until absolutely necessary. If it claims to find faces, well, then let's see it work! And then we'll count the faces found.

In any case, the documentation is wrong if it says that. E.g., the software found all seven SEGs in the photo below:
