I decided to publish the source code of my camshift implemenation via the spark project community. Many thanks to Yossy and all the team. Editing wiki pages with a japanese interface was a funny but also a bit stressing experience . So you can find the sources here. I called it FaceIt . I will try to improve it little by little, there is a lot of optimizations which could be done.

A few months ago a lot of people of the Flash community talked about Marinela, a wonderduf implementation of the Haar detection face done by Ohtsuka Masakazu from the spark project community. In OpenCV, there is another face and hand detection and tracking algorithm called Camshift and described here by Gary Bradski. Camshift uses color information to track object into an image sequence. Not only it can detect object position but also retrieve information about object size and orientation. Furthermore it has the advantages to be easy to implement and computationally efficient, which are really good thing for our Flash Player and my precious time ; -) .So last week I tried to implemented it and to test if it could work in Flash.
