Face Recognition with javaCV on android-x86

Question

I'm trying to run the following implementation of the algorithm for face recognition (Eigenface) on Android x86 Emulator.

https://code.google.com/p/javacv/source/browse/samples/FaceRecognition.java

Does anyone have experience about it? Are javaCV wrappers prepared to execute on Android x86 arch and therefore not only ARM? Thanks!

Answer 1

It looks like the javaCV wrappers indeed only embed ARM libraries. I've recompiled the javaCV packages for android x86, you can get these from here:

• javacv-0.6-bin-android-x86.zip
• javacv-0.6-cppjars-android-x86.zip

Please let me know if they are working.

You can mix them with the ARM ones easily, you only need to put the x86 .so files (from inside the x86 jars) inside libs/x86/.

edit: I've written an article to explain the process more in-depth and provide the latest version (0.7): http://ph0b.com/getting-an-x86-version-of-javacv-for-android/
