All:
I want to use the Android 4.0 face detection mechanism startFaceDetection etc. However when reading the API docs, there is a statement in

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.0.html

Note: Face detection may not be supported on some devices, so you should check by calling getMaxNumDetectedFaces() and ensure the return value is greater than zero. Also, some devices may not support identification of eyes and mouth, in which case, those fields in the Camera.Face object will be null.

What is the support required in HW? Sounds like support will be required in camera subsystem to provide an implementation to these APIs?

Can someone please clarity what is actually needed to get the face detection to work?
