I want to create an Android application in which i want to detect human body from an image. I haven't started coding yet(its just an idea), so i am not able to show you any codes. I heard about OpenCV face detection for android. I have tried to use OpenCV face detection, But since i am newbie in android, i am not able to do so.

My question is "Is there anything in OpenCV that can help me to detect whole human body rather than just face?", if YES then "is there any tutorials regarding this?"

thanks for HELP in advance.
