I am trying to build OpenCV 3.30 for Android with facerecognizer support. So I followed the instructions, downloaded the contrib modules, and made everything (cmake + make)

I see that a face.a module is created, as wel as the libopencv_java3.so. But I can't find any face.java (in the src folder) nor the face.cpp (in the JNI folder).

I found another post (http://answers.opencv.org/question/31... ) describing a similar or the same problem with Java bindings for this class, but I'm not sure if it is related to older OpenCV versions and now should work.

Should I expect the Java bindings to be created with OpenCV 3.30?

please try to compile with the latest source. face module is available for java recently

Thanks! Just to try (I was desperate), I just had edited it manually doing the same (adding Java in cmakelists) and 'bingo'! the bindings appeared :) I will first test it with my current version (since I made a small customisation in the JNI source), and see if it works. BTW, do you know if there are many improvements/fixes in the facerecognizer class (since 3.30 to current commit) that would make it advisable to upgrade to?

if you want to use only facerecognizer i think no need to upgrade but maybe you want to use recent addition face_alignment

@jordiCP, mind telling us, what you actually want to DO with it ?

(i'm only asking, because this is a face IDENTIFICATION (who is it?) system, while most android folks actually want an AUTHENTIFICATION (is that me?) system, it's probably the wrong tool, entirely)

Hi berak. Yes, I can explain :) Some months ago, I 'wrapped' the openCV320 for Android 'official' SDK so that it could be used with Basic4Android, also known as B4A (a really powerful and quickly growing Android-based RAD ). It included the 'standard' modules exposed in that version. Now I have been requested to do the same, but also including this module, by someone who is already working with it (fisher-faces) in other platforms and would like to test it using B4A.
