Face It – The Artificially Intelligent Hairstylist

Face It is a mobile application that uses computer vision to acquire data about a user's facial structure as well as machine learning to determine the user's face shape. This information is then combined with manually inputted information to give the user a personalized set of hair and beard styles that are guaranteed to make the user look his best. A personalized list of tips are also generated for the user to take into account when getting a haircut. To create this application, various procedures, tools and coding languages were utilized. For this application we used Intel's OpenCV library along with haar cascade files to detect a person's face. Haar-like features are digital features used in object recognition.
