Subject[PATCH 0/3] OMAP4&drivers/misc: introduce face detection module driver
Date
Hi,

These patches(against -next tree) introduce a device driver under
drivers/misc for enabling one face detection IP[1] which is
integrated inside OMAP4 SoC currently, and have some OMAP4
platform dependent changes to make the module workable on OMAP4 SoC.

For verification purpose, I write one user space utility[2] to
test the module and driver, follows its basic functions:

- detect faces in a input grayscal picture(PGM raw, 320 by 240)
- plot a rectangle to mark the detected faces, and save it as
another same type grayscal picture
- set detection parameters

I should have though about implementing a face detection demo on video
playback from uvc camera, but OMAP4 DSS on -next tree can't work,
so have to quit the idea.

Looks the performance of the module is not bad, see some detection
results on the link[3][4].

Face detection can be used to implement some interesting applications
(camera, face unlock, baby monitor, ...).
