I'm looking for a free face recognition library for a university project. I'm not looking for face detection. I'm looking for actual recognition. That means finding images that contain specified faces or libraries that calculate distances between specific faces.
I'm currently using OpenCV for detecting the faces and a rough Eigenface algorithm for the recognition. But I thought there should be something out there with better performance than a self-written Eigenface algorithm. I'm not talking about speed as performance, I'm looking for a library with better results than a simple Eigenface approach.
I took a look at Faint, but it seems the library is not very reusable for my own applications.
I'm happy with a library in Python, Java, C++, C or something like that. The best thing would be if it can be run on a Windows machine because I'm relying on some external Windows-only code at the moment.
