Integrating OpenCV with Tekkotsu

Future Work on Project

-I would still like to improve my face recognition.  Although it works I did not change the size of the images.  Also the API for SIFT from tekkotsu, or SiftTekkotsu.h, does not provide any functions for handling colored images.  I only implemented face recognition using gray images, which doesn't work very well.

-Importing other functions to tekkotsu from openCV: there exist many interesting machine learning algorithms in openCV:

Neural Networks

Decision Trees

Boosting (reinforcement learning)

-It would be nice to port openCV libraries to Fedora as well, I never got around to it.

-Also it would be interesting to get the chiara to recognize the emotions of the person using various openCV libraries.  There are numerous cool ways in which the chiara could respond to the human!
