I'm looking for a free face recognition library for a university project. I'm not looking for face detection. I'm looking for actual recognition. That means finding images that contain specified faces or libraries that calculate distances between specific faces.

I'm using OpenCV for detecting the faces and a rough Eigenfaces Algorithm for the recognition now. But I thought there should be something out there with a better performance then a self written Eigenfaces Algorithm. I don't talk about speed as performance I'm looking for a library with better results as an simple Eigenfaces approach

I took a look at faint but it seems the library is not very reusable for my own applications.

I'm happy with a library in Python, Java, C++, C or something like that. The best thing would be if it can be run on a Windowsmachine
