Face detection jQuery Plugin

That is hugely impressive. I just tried it with crowd shots and it worked well. The only issue seemed to be with faces that weren't horizontally aligned.

Would love to read more about the process of moving the algorithm over to jQuery.

This looks like a fork of Liu Liu's javascript library.

I wonder how well this would work for automatically cropping user profile pictures. Anyone else try something like this?

Hm I wonder if you can use this to build a simple tagging system?

I don't see why not, it creates an element around each face which you could attribute a unique ID to.

The author credits Liu Liu for the algorithm

Well maybe something like 1) upload pic, 2) show full-size pic with crop preview in browser, 3) user confirms dimensions and saves to server.
