Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for the following problem:

A site called MyHeritage.com has a function on there that allows you to upload a photo and it matches you to what celebrities you look like. At work we used this recently and charged people for a go for charity. However it seems that there database mainly consisted of US celebs and no cartoon characters. A lot of people said it would have been a lot better if it could match you to imaginary characters too.

So with that in mind i wondered whether there is existing software out there for facial recognotion that could be configured to a database of photos that i compile. I wanted to get this done by next year for another charity event we are holding.

Any ideas?

It would require some manual programming to make it recognize cartoon characters. Facial-recognition software looks at key elements of the face as subcomponents that stand out - in a sense, it's like the autofocus on a camera, locking onto a certain point. FR just uses many points and correlates their relation to each other. I suppose if you took, say, Homer Simpson and used some reference points on his nose, etc. you could establish a pattern. However, I really don't think too many real-life humans would look enough like Homer to trigger an software anything close to a match.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
