hi all, i'm a newbie and i want to know what version of opencv should i use for face and eye detection . i have found that since opencv 3.0.0 it offers a new api in c++ so there is more speed especially in multiple cores and more non faces can be detected but i want to use it also in detection of eye direction thanks a lot

If you are starting programming in OpenCV than forget the 2.4 API and move directly to the stable new 3.0 release! This is independent of the problem you are facing, but using the most latest functionality offers extra possibilities.

Yep, that is the one! if you want the latest previous day version with new fixes, than clone the sourcecode from github and build OpenCV yourself.
