Face Detection & Crop

[ashwood]

I was wondering how i would let my users upload a profile picture but aswell as the original being uploaded i would like a thumbnail version to be saved from it like facebook does has original and a thumbnail version for comments etc.. how would i go about doing this?

Thanks

Cropping is very easy have a look at my image gallery tutorial for how to do that.

Face detection though, would be pretty hard to do ! Your best bet would be looking for a php extension that provides a function to do it, since implementing the actual detection with php would be too slow to process. Luckily it's somethign a lot of people are trying to get right http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q= ... +detection

Yeah the crop is easy but don't want the image to look stretched and I can't install any extensions to the server

You can crop it and keep the aspect ratio easily. I did that in my image gallery video.

Face detection will be a lot harder, check the link I posted above for info on how to do it though.
