face detection

allow the camera to detect a face or other significant object, so sprites can
goto camera:face

I'm sure there'd be lots of other possibilities too.

If you're going to say, but techno-CAT, not everyone has a camera
There is a camera block already. Can this be of use to people without cameras?

Semi-Support

Not a ton of usfulness, while broadening the limits of Scratch.

Its workaround able, so no support.

Just search. There is is a 1s1s one here.

yeah, but they're rather hit and miss.

That one's not working for me.

You have to press space I think…

That doesn't actually detect your face. That just follows whatever object is underneath of the sprite at the time that the space bar is pressed. I can put my hand under there, a rubber ducky, anything and have it follow that object around. The OP is asking for something that detects your face specifically.

Yes, but how would it detect it? How would the scratch team make it ONLY detect your face?

I wasn't saying that I liked the idea, I was just pointing out the flaw in your argument. I still don't support the idea, but for a different reason.

I know, I was just wondering. Sorry if that sounded mean.

No support - we shouldn't just plop whole libraries in for people to use
also facial recognition can be fairly resource-intensive (idk for sure though)

Support, it would be useful for magic mirror projects. Maybe it would automatically turn the camera on if it's used?

I'm assuming it does nothing/goes to the center if no face is detected, but what would happen if there were multiple faces?

There should also be a block for face rotation.

Finally done!
I finished my facial detection program and it can detect features such as eyes nose and mouth, but mainly just to detect if a face exits in an image, but it's a step anyway!

This program is too slow to run in live facial detection, but it works fine for still images.
