Public constructors
FaceDetector
public FaceDetector (int width, 
                int height, 
                int maxFaces)Creates a FaceDetector, configured with the size of the images to be analysed and the maximum number of faces that can be detected. These parameters cannot be changed once the object is constructed. Note that the width of the image must be even.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| width | int: the width of the image | 
| height | int: the height of the image | 
| maxFaces | int: the maximum number of faces to identify | 
Public methods
findFaces
public int findFaces (Bitmap bitmap, Face[] faces)
Finds all the faces found in a given Bitmap.
 The supplied array is populated with FaceDetector.Faces for each
 face found. The bitmap must be in 565 format (for now).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| bitmap | Bitmap: theBitmapgraphic to be analyzed | 
| faces | Face: an array in which to place all foundFaceDetector.Faces. The array must be sized equal
               to the maxFaces value set at initialization | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the number of faces found | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IllegalArgumentException | if the Bitmap dimensions don't match the dimensions defined at initialization or the given array is not sized equal to the maxFaces value defined at initialization | 
Protected methods
finalize
protected void finalize ()
Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection
 determines that there are no more references to the object.
 A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of
 system resources or to perform other cleanup.
 
 The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked
 if and when the Java virtual
 machine has determined that there is no longer any
 means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has
 not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the
 finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be
 finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including
 making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose
 of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before
 the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method
 for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform
 explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is
 permanently discarded.
 
 The finalize method of class Object performs no
 special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of
 Object may override this definition.
 
 The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will
 invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is
 guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not
 be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is
 invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method,
 the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
 
 After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no
 further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again
 determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can
 be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible
 actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized,
 at which point the object may be discarded.
 
 The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java
 virtual machine for any given object.
 
 Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes
 the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise
 ignored.
