So I took a whole crapload of mug shots. Well, shots of mugs, the things you drink coffee out of.
Anyway. I snapped off about 200 from various angles. It's still not the 3-5k that some folks recommend but it's better than the 1 that I did the VK poc with. I started cropping them up today so I can train a cascade file with.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
That is just about the most completely tedious and boring thing I have ever done in my life. I'm only like 10 images into it. There must be a better way.
I was reading through Naotoshi Seo's fantastic tutorial and apparently he wrote himself a tool to make it easier and published it. I'm going to download and play with that. Trying to do this with Gimp or windows paint is not an option.
It gives me more fuel for an idea I've had banging around in the back of my brain. OpenVKP. I won't do in to any details just yet but it should help this sort of thing.
