Have been doing plenty of reading lately. Mostly reviews and discussions on dodgy issues involving face detection (ah, it's pose, illumination, pose, illumination...), basically "looking into the big picture". The literature is really enormous. MH Yang's ICPR2004 tutorial is really handy, and everyone should at least have a good look at it.

Video-based methods (for face detection) have the luxury of extra cues (motion, depth) and that helps narrow down the search space. I'll look into it with more detail later, and work from there on towards the 'recognition' part for my PhD.

I'll be having two final year projects on face detection for undergraduates next trimester (Nov), and hopefully, there are people interested to take up the challenge. No details for now though, till they're released!
