Easy to use UIView subclass to implement a camera feed with real time filters using Core Image (iOS5+)

#JSLiveCameraFilters v0.5.1

##Description: JSLiveCameraFilters gives you an easy to use UIView subclass (JSLiveCameraPreviewView) to implement a camera feed with real time filters using Core Image (iOS5+).

##How to use:

• Add a JSLiveCameraPreviewView view as a subview to one of your view controllers (like JSCameraVC in the sample app)
• Pass a filter to it via the filterToApply property. You have to use a class that conforms to the JSCameraImageFilter, i.e. that implements this method:

- (UIImage *)filteredImageFromOriginalCoreImageImage:(CIImage *)originalImage withOrientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation;

You can alter the originalImage object passed (e.g. using CIFilter, check the sample filters) and returned the result as an UIImage. You can use this function to get the UIImage from the CIImage:

UIImage *UIImageFromCIImage(CIImage *ciimage, UIImageOrientation orientation);

##Status:

• This is kind of an unfinished prototype. But I hope it can be useful to get real time filters set up.
• The JSCameraImageFilterFaceDetector sample filter that I include in the sample project doesn't work, because I haven't had time to finish it :) If you want to contribute that would be great :)
