Hello there,
I am looking for a software the can recognise THE PRESENCE of a face, wether the picture is taken from the front or from the side.
More concrete: if you take a picture from the side of a car (let us say the side window), and there is a person sitting in the rear seat, does your software (or any other software?) allows to detect that there is a human being??

With kind regards,

Robert De Beukelaer

It is better to have a long post that explains your problem, than a short one which doesn't provide all the information required to provide an answer.

Regarding your Face Recognition problem, look here

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=Face+Recognition

for some very well regarded solutions/partial solutions. Try them, understand them and base your program on your understanding of them - don't plaigarize them; your professor probably visits this site;-)
