1. Object Matching With Faces CS460 Project Presentation By Sam Buyarski

2. Project Requirements  Design an HCI that assists with entering pictures of faces and their identifying features.  Use a combination of the user manually identifying features and the program determining some other features.  Store face data and make it searchable.  Identify a face and match it with any previously entered faces.

3. The Plan  Start simple and grow the project.  First design input HCI for entering pictures.  Next implement storage of information.  Design a search for matching pictures.  Test, add more features.

4. My Solutions  Original interface was confusing  Take the user through identifying features step by step.  Save in a delineated file.

5. Exceptions  The storage system is not done  The search does not work

6. CS Concepts  CS 110, 205, 210 – Modular code, functions, structures  Event Programming – Trapping Mouse Button Events, Dialogs  Programming Languages

7. EXTENSIONS  Automate some of the features being identified, maybe use the CMU Cam.  Make a reliable search, maybe a weighted search.  Use a database to store characteristics of pictures.  Use less global variables  Change languages

8. Advice  Start early and start often  Meet with the professors a lot and ask for help when you need it  Do not try to guess how long something will take, just start as soon as you can.

9. The End  Questions?
