title: Face Recognition on the iPhone
body: <p>How can I do facial recognition on the iPhone. Could someone provide me with references/articles to point me in the right direction please? I have done research and realised that I need to do face detection first to extract the image and then do facial recognition by comparing it with other images within a database. </p>
  
  <p>I have realised that I have do the face detection by using OpenCV or by utilising iOS 5.0 and upwards to detect the face. I am unsure on the facial recognition (I plan on storing images on a remote database and then doing the comparison against the remote database).</p>
