public java.lang.String checkAgainst(java.io.File f)
                              throws java.io.FileNotFoundException,
                                     java.io.IOException

Returns:

The Identifier of the image in the face-space. If image not found (based on THRESHOLD) null is returned.

Throws:

java.io.FileNotFoundException

java.io.IOException

                            java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Construct the face-spaces from the given directory. There must be affineTransform least sixteen images in that directory and each image must have the same dimensions. The face-space bundles are also cached in that directory for speeding up further initialization.

Parameters:

rootDir - The directory where the training images are located.

Throws:

java.io.FileNotFoundException - The rootDir directory does not exist.

java.io.IOException - Problems reading images from the given directory or saving the cache file (if caching is enabled)

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The arguments submitted are wrong.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - The cached objects are out-of-date or are not this version's face-space objects
