Use eigenface on Android (faint)

Question

How could I use eigenface on my android application to do some facial recognition? I've found some project such as faint http://faint.sourceforge.net/#mozTocId837572 But have no idea how to use it in my own application. Can anyone help me? Thank you

This is a tutorial I used to learn about basic Faint face detection. However it did not work for me ad-hoc, I even ended up downloading the whole Faint source and changing it a bit so that I wouldn't get a NullPointerException. I found the code included in this project (I am not quite sure if it is legally included). The code should help you get acquainted with the basic functionalities.

However, when I got everything fixed I did not quite get the expected results: on a single passport pic I got up to 7 faces detected. Maybe it was just me misconfiguring the library... Many people seem to praise this library.

Hope my bit helps you get started with faint.
