The ALFaceDetection module is a vision module, in which NAO tries to detect, and eventually recognizes, faces in front of him.
The detection works better if the face looks towards the camera (heads up), and is not too far. Retrieving the detection results, you can make NAO move its head to always face the person interacting with him.
The next section explains how to quickly see the face detection in action using Telepathe. Then, we give a description of the ALFaceDetection module for detection first, then for recognition. Finally we present examples written in Python to show how you can write your own functions that use this module.
