Chord Pickout

A friend of mine has perfect pitch. He is a professional guitarist. The only instrument he needs to guess chords for a song is his own ear. He can listen to a song and easily pick out the right chords or even make a better arrangement than those he listened to. But, what about the rest of us, who don''t have this gift? There are hundreds of new songs produced every month. Sometimes scores for current songs are hard to find. But, you need them now, when they are popular and not a year later. This is where Chord Pickout can help. This program uses its artificial intelligence to guess chords for you. All you have to do is to load a media file (wav or mp3) and click a button. Chord Pickout will transcribe the music and write down the recognized chords. The process is fully automated. While most of its competitors use simple patterns to recognize chords, Chord Pickout applies complex math and shows outstanding results even in the toughest cases. You will receive chord notations that are very close to those by the song''s author. This program will became a must-have tool for those who want to play the hottest and most popular songs on a guitar, piano or other musical instrument. No need to wait for published scores, no need to spend your precious time trying to find the right chords. Just load an audio file and you''ve got the chords. It''s that easy!

FaceMorpher Web Edition

If you are in online entertainment, you have probably seen the impressive effect of morphing implemented on human faces. The coolness of the effect depends strongly on the quality of the morph. Morphing the visitor''s own face makes by far the strongest impression. Traditionally, transforming human faces required manual work. To obtain a proper transformation, it used to be necessary to manually select facial features on every face, which takes away the fun and degrades the resulting animation quality. FaceMorpher Web Edition obsoletes the manual work and automates face recognition and detection of its facial features such as eyes, eye corners, eyebrows, mouth corners, nose tip, and so on. A visitor can submit any digital picture that contains a frontal face, and FaceMorpher Web Edition will find the face and locate its facial features precisely and completely automatically, with no user intervention. The quality of automatic detection is generally much higher than manual selection by untrained visitors, resulting in smoother and more realistic animation. Perform morphing animation of faces by smoothly and realistically transforming one face into another. FaceMorpher Web Edition produces the smoothest and most realistic morphing effect thanks to its automatic detection of facial features, making it a nose-to-nose and lips-to-lips transformation instead of just blending two images. Impress your visitors by seeing their past and reading their future. If you have a picture of a couple, you can easily show what their children would look like. Morphing the couple''s faces together will produce a realistic picture of their child. Just as easily, you can also age a face or make it younger by transforming a single facial photograph. FaceMorpher Web Edition works unattended on a Web server. It runs from the command line and takes pictures as an input, morphs or transforms them and outputs the result that you can demonstrate on your Web site.

Luxand FaceSDK

Detect human faces and recognize facial features in your applications with Luxand FaceSDK. Digital camera manufacturers spend millions of dollars developing face recognition technologies for their digital cameras. Digital Signal Processors (DSP) combined with face detection algorithms do the job in digital cameras, allowing for better autofocus and proper exposure. These DSPs can only recognize human faces, but don''t go any further than that. Modern solutions do not provide facial feature detection, and hence their applications are limited. Facial feature recognition allows automating common post-processing tasks such as red-eye removal and skin tone adjustment. Users of digital cameras benefit from more precise automatic adjustments and touch-ups that don''t require user intervention. Enable face recognition in your software without the need to spend millions of dollars and with no DSP with Luxand FaceSDK! Luxand FaceSDK employs sophisticated algorithms to detect frontal human faces on digital pictures quickly and reliably. The SDK processes the image, detects human faces, and returns the coordinates of 40 facial feature points including the eyes, eye corners, eyebrows, mouth corners, nose tip, and so on. Developing morphing, animation or 3D software? Create a perfect ''skin'' or a 3D head model automatically! Luxand FaceSDK can select human faces and return pictures that contain the coordinates of facial features, making it easy to match facial features of the photograph with the corresponding features on the 3D head. Luxand FaceSDK is implemented as a highly compatible Win32 DLL, and supports popular development environments. Microsoft Visual C++ and Borland Delphi users get all necessary header files, making it easy to integrate with new or existing projects. Create graphical editors or automatic red-eye removal products. Develop solutions for making 3D head models with a single photograph. Morph, animate or transform human faces with Luxand FaceSDK!
