Detecting Face in Image (VB.net 2010)

Sample Face Detection

I write this code using VS 2010, and my OS is Windows 7. This code was used library of the Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) and EmguCV. see this:

Create new WindowsForm Project, and drop a PictureBox Control.
You must add the Emgu libraries, by adding reffences of this DLL:
- Emgu.CV.dll
- Emgu.CV.UI.dll
- Emgu.Util.dll

Write this code:

Imports Emgu.CV

Imports Emgu.Util

Imports Emgu.CV.Structure

Imports Emgu.CV.UI

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load() Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim p As String = Application.StartupPath

        PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("image.jpg")

        Dim ImageBgr As New Image(Of Bgr, Byte)(PictureBox1.Image)

        Dim HaarXML As New HaarCascade("haarcascade_frontalface_alt_tree.xml")

        Dim GrayImage As Image(Of Gray, Byte) = ImageBgr.Convert(Of Gray, Byte)()

        Dim ImgGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image)

        Dim MPen As New Pen(Brushes.YellowGreen, 8)

        ' Will take a several minute.. please wait..

        For Each m In GrayImage.DetectHaarCascade(HaarXML)(0)

            ImgGraphics.DrawRectangle(MPen, m.rect)

        Next

    End Sub

End Class

When you execute your program, this DLL file must in the same folder of your exe file:
- cvextern.dll
- Emgu.CV.dll
- Emgu.CV.UI.dll
- Emgu.Util.dll
