The method used by this app to capture images is no longer allowed on the app store.
Picture Me uses face detection to determine when to snap the iPhone's camera shutter. Once it detects a face it will take a picture. Perfect for taking self-portraits.
Just point the camera at yourself or others and wait for it to vibrate (once it finds a face). Shortly after you feel the phone vibrate it will snap the photo. This gives you ample time to steady your hand.
Face detection is accomplished using OpenCV an open source computer vision library.
This code is intented to be a useful resource for learning how to do the following::
- Integrate OpenCV into an iPhone app.
- Manipulating UIImagePickerController (on iPhone OS 2.2.x).
- Triggering the camera shutter programmatically.
