An Android library that detects human faces in real time on camera preview streams, with a C++ core and simple integration via a frame processor. It pairs naturally with the Fotoapparat camera library but works with any camera source.

Use cases

  • detect faces in real time from an android camera preview
  • overlay rectangles on detected faces in a camera view
  • add face detection to an android app using fotoapparat
  • process camera frames to find face positions
  • build a face-tracking camera feature on android

When to choose

  • you need lightweight real-time face detection on android
  • you already use Fotoapparat and want a frame processor
  • you want a simple library API rather than a full ML stack

When to avoid

  • you need face recognition/identification, not just detection
  • you target iOS or non-Android platforms
  • you need actively maintained dependencies or recent updates
