[Ssc-dev] Video face detect breakthrough!

[Nathan of Guardian]

Happy to say that I've had a bit of a breakthrough on the video front. I
wanted to see if I could get face detection working with video, and for
the most part I have. In short, doing a face detect per second of video
comes out with reasonable results without too long a process time -
essentially it is working in real-time.

Here's the steps to do with the latest build:

1) Shoot a video with some friendly faces in it
2) Open ObscuraCam and select "Select Video"
3) Watch the video play, or drag the playback bar around to see how the
"scrubbing" works.
4) Open the menu, and choose the "new tag" option. the video should play
again, and you should see face detection happening.
5) Once done, open the menu and select "Save". video processing should
now occur.
6) Once done, the video should launch in the player, happily pixelated.

Here's the latest build* (only tested on Samsung Player and Toshiba 3.x
tab so far):

* You may need to install any previous "official" build of ObscuraCam
first. Also get rid of any "ObscuraVid" or "SSCVideoProto" apps you
might have. No longer necessary.

Feedback appreciated, though obviously this is still "alpha".

Word.
