Microsoft Project Oxford and VOIS

Microsoft have brought out a new face and emotion recognition library called Project Oxford that performs most of the functions of the C# library I was developing for VOIS, therefore I’ll be re-engineering my demonstration to take account of this new library.

At first glance though, the Microsoft library performs much better than my own, especially with poorer quality images. Having said that, I don’t know what the pricing structure for the library is.

If it is expensive, then I may revert back to my own library and eventually release it on SourceForge.
