Face Detection using OpenCV?

Hello there!

I'm currently writing my diploma thesis and there is about 1 month left to implement another face detection algorithm.

Do you think it's possible to port the Viola and Jones face detection algorithm of the OpenCV library from Intel in that one month? I've never done such a porting thing (at least not such a big thing) before so it's hard for me to rank the difficulty of this challenge. Also I'm a little confused that I found so few workings on this, maybe I searched for the wrong keywords... Is there already a port of the opencv (face detector)?

A alternative would be to hack everything myself. I've heard that the VLIB has a example for a Integral Image, could be very helpfully, but I don't know how to use the trained cascade of Intel's opencv then. I guess I don't have the time to train my own cascade..

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks

Lars
