SPEEDPROJECT: 3 hours haarspider is a speed project I did today. It spiders through webpages and finds faces in images and creates an average face. You can get the source code at Github. It uses haar cascades to find the faces, so it could actually find anything you have a haar cascade for. Here are [...]
I’ve been gittin’ it up†† over at Github recently. I think I’ve racked up over 100 commits over the past few months, but I completely made that up, so I’m not sure. Usable Stuff Code for Art – This is 50+ sample openFrameworks apps that I use in the class of the same name that [...]
I just pushed the first version of an add-on for openFrameworks that is a wrapper for Berkelium, an BSD licensed library that provides off-screen browser rendering via Google’s open source Chromium web browser.
