Question

I used the information provided in the OpenCV wiki to make a face detection program which identifies the presence of a face in the Camera feed. The source code that I used was provided in the link given below

http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/objdetect/cascade_classifier/cascade_classifier.html

Now I wanted to take it to another level so that it can actually identify the ears also. Thus I would want to place a mask on the users face which shows the presence of face and also the ears, something like

How to do this without using OpenGL, and using some kind of cascade classifier?

Answer 1

There HaarCascades available for ears, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. You can use them in the same way as you used Face cascades to detect faces. The cascades are provided with the source.
