Projects

Face recognition app
2015
Java
C++
OpenCV
Image Processing
AI
A desktop application processes all the images from a specific folder and groups them by the people appearing in the images. Also, the app supports filtering all the images containing a specific person. I used OpenCV for face detection, and for the face recognition part, I implemented an algorithm combining two methods, principal component analysis (PCA) and local binary patterns (LBP). The accuracy of the face recognition algorithm was 75%.
