Hi, i know this is not an issue. i want to do face recognition with js. wonder if is possible to port opencv with emscripten. any thoughts? do you suggest me any js lib? or procedure to port opencv facerecognizer to js? How have you done to use face detection with js? Thanks you very much

Hi, I haven't tried emscripten or other libraries for porting c++ to javascript. Also, I don't really know enough about how OpenCV is put together to say whether emscripten is able to port it. Some bits of the code I've used, was ported from actionscript, but that is very similar to javascript, so there wasn't really any radical changes. It would certainly be interesting to try porting OpenCV, though!

Thanks for your answer, i ended up using node-opencv module. So far working great for face recognition.
