Spatial Anomalies

I think I may have run into a problem on my quest to remove Wesley Crusher from Star Trek before I’ve even started writing the algorithm to do so.  The algorithm I was planning on using appears to require highly normalized data.  As in every face needs to be looking in exactly the same direction and be the same size in the frame.  As the images I pulled are random grabs from an episode, they’re looking left or right or straight ahead or are blurry or have varying degrees of Face vs. Hair, etc.  I’m concerned that I’ll just get a completely muddled recognizer that is looking for one totally random blob of pixels vs. another.

I’ll try it anyway, though.  Even if it doesn’t work, I’m sure it will come up with some interesting results…
