Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator.

Release notes:

Here’s test6. This one has the minor cleanup of the audio… should sound better for apps that do distinct clips instead of streaming. Major change – I got tired of looking for what was wrong with 4 bit video, so I did a hack – I convert the four bit video into 8 bit and then use the 8 bit code. Works fine. One thing this tells me – the Mac is drawing the four bit correctly, so the problem is with the GU_PSM_T4 handling. I can’t spot the problem… I’ll leave it for another time. This at least makes it where you can read the damn display so initial installs and four bit games should be usable now.

JJIL is a Java image processing library. It includes an image processing architecture and over 60 routines for various image processing tasks.

JJIL is particularly targeted towards mobile applications. It includes interfaces so images can be converted to and from native formats for J2ME, Android, and J2SE.

JJIL includes some sample applications for face detection and EAN-13 (including UPC) barcode reading. The barcode reader requires high resolution images (currently beyond a typical cameraphone, but perhaps not Android) but the face detection code works well with any cameraphone. It can isolate any reasonable frontal view of a face in a few seconds.
