liluxdev / pareidoloop

making machines see faces

pareidoloop

1. generate random polygons
2. feed them into a face detector
3. mutate to increase recognition confidence

difficult stuff (the cv lib) by liuliu

idea via roger alsing's evolution of mona lisa, and greg borenstein's machine pareidolia

notes

• try out a demo
• currently tested only in chrome (v 21)
• hangs firefox in some cases, on some OSes
• "autosave images" only works in chrome (uses a@download attribute)
• large output sizes result in corrupt images (data:// URLs too long?)
• probably a bunch of other bugs in there
• have patience - let it churn away for a few hours and see what you get
• annealing simulation from russellmcc
