Dear All,

My name is Elisardo González and I am member of  jbioapi project. My
partners and me have made a BSP to provide user face verification
using a webcam to take the face snapshot.

You can find the binary files at http://www.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/~eli/AutomaticFaceBSP/
We use the OpenCV library to perform automatic face detection, so we
can select the best user face photo without the user collaboration,
and use it to perform the verification.

We have tested it on Ubuntu distribution with bioapi_1.2.3_i386.deb
<http://www.qrivy.net/%7Emichael/temp/bioapi_1.2.3_i386.deb> and
pam_bioapi-0.2.1.tar.gz

<http://www.qrivy.net/%7Emichael/blua/pam_bioapi/
pam_bioapi-0.2.1.tar.gz>,

and it works.
For installation:
  - OpenCV and ImageMagic libraries are required.
  - Create a folder called haarcasacadefiles inside of /root/ directory
and copy there the attached XML files.(required for the automatic face
detection)
  - mod_install -i libautomaticfacebsp.so 

Related tools:
  * Facetracking tool at [[http://www.webapps.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/facetracking/]]
This tool manages the user webcam and perform automatic face detection
using Java and C++.
  * Automatic face verification platform at [[https://www.webapps.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/biowebauth/]]
This  platform  allow to perform  automatic face  detection and
verification  among other biometric kind of authentication.
