Project Structure

This software is part of the imagingbook project. It is built with Maven and depends on ImageJ and the imagingbook-common library.

This project consists of two sub-projects (Maven modules):

• imagingbook-violajones-lib: the face detection library,
• imagingbook-violajones-data: a set of test data (images),
• imagingbook-violajones-plugins: various ImageJ demo plugins (embedded in a complete ImageJ setup).

• Download the latest release of this repository.
• Enter imagingbook-violajones-plugins.
• Start ImageJ by double-clicking ImageJ.exe (Win) or launching ij.jar (Mac). This requires an installed Java runtime version 1.8 or higher.
• In ImageJ, use the Plugins menu to run the demo plugins.

Use in an Existing ImageJ Environment
