Week 9 - Facial Recognition Updates

This belated post details progress made in the facial recognition component of the project. The facial recognition algorithm has been incorporated into the GUI and a timer has been implemented to cross-reference the video feed from the webcam to the training database every 0.1 seconds. This way, the user does not have to wait for the camera to take his/her photo. Instead, all of the processing is done automatically. A similar approach will be implemented for the fingerprint algorithm as shall be discussed in future blog posts.

The GUI has also been expanded to full-screen using the undocumented features of Java in MATLAB. The ancestor to the MATLAB frame is called and the JavaFrame is diposed; thereafter, the setUndecorated property is modified and the components are repacked and displayed. Other minor GUI changes and fixes have been made to improve the look-and-feel of the application.
