IMO, object detection is better, at least now OMAP4 and samsung has face detection IP module, and face recognition is often done on results of face detection and more complicated interfaces will be involved. > > Actually, I'm preparing similar control class for mainline with m5mols > camera sensor driver.

And this is also > support not only "face", but also "object". Yes, object is better than face, and we can use enum flag to describe that the objects detected are which kind of objects. In fact, I plan to rename the face detection generic driver as object detection generic driver and let hardware driver to handle the object detection details. > > The function of OMAP FDIF looks like m5mols ISP's one. > please understand I don't have experience about OMAP AP.
