So I decided to put my little knowledge of computer vision to some good use and solved the problem of formatting passport photos once and for all using face detection. It works great and you can check the results at http://freepassportphoto.dyndns.org/ Your article ranks high in the Google search results, and hopefully Page-Rank will think more of my web app if you recommend it. If you like it, please include a link to it in the references for your article. Thanks, BFRS Hi Venkat,

Things to do before I am thirty, I hope my parents will last well past my thirty’s, get a chance to see the grand children, maybe even great grand children. Think this is one I won’t ever want to accomplish.
