How to capture face from web cam

Olivier and JF have given you perfect link.
you can also use This Link[^] to get image from webcam

If you want code to capture images from a web cam, then search the web. For example:
http://weblogs.asp.net/nleghari/pages/webcam.aspx[^]

If you want code to detect a face inside the captured image, then you should post your question to some image processing forums.

if you have Microsoft Expression Studio installed, then you can use Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.Live namespace to do image/video capture from your webcam. But I m not sure if the same is going to work for web apps since you haven't mentioned the app type. This namespace (for .NET 3.5) works well on Windows apps.

this one is for .NET 4.0: How to use a web cam in C# with .NET Framework 4.0 and Microsoft Expression Encoder 4[^]

Probably this is what you need :

Multiple face detection and recognition in real time[^]

Hope It Helps

Face Detection can be achieved quite easily by using Emgu CV[^], which is a C# wrapper for Open CV. All you have to do is to download the Emgu CV, then use the sample code provided for face detection using webcam from http://www.emgu.com/wiki/index.php/Face_detection.

You will need to include Haarcascade file named

haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml

for face detection as well.

I would Recommend this solution [includes the use of Flash]
