I'm looking for a quick way to detect faces in pictures (stored as JPG or any other popular image format). Code in any popular programming language will do (Python, C#, Java, Matlab, etc.). I'm also willing to implement an algorithm by myself, as long as it is proven to be a good working one.
Alternatively, if there are known freeware (preferably open, but not necessary) tools or SDKs for the problem, I'll try them too.
Finally, Commercial products would be considered as well, if all else fails, so recommend those too.
OpenCV is a open source library that has support for face recognition.
Emgu.CV is a C# wrapper for OpenCV. There is a sample project that performs face recognition with adjsutable parameters just like in OpenCV.
Take a look at these guys, I've used this once partially for a project.

I wrote about resources and example code for face classification in this post.
If you want a quick way to do face recognition look at the example code for face recognition in OpenCV for Python or C++ here.
There is also a Matlab code that I found very useful and is ready to run with a single click right here

I was recently thinking of learning a programming language that can interact with Windows Program?Is there any such thing that can do things like open Chrome,navigate to a webpage,Click some buttons,input something?
P.S -> Please don't suggest Imacros :)
I saw one program like that and wonder what programming language it is written in and can interact with programs?
Thanks.
It sounds like you're looking for an AppleScript equivalent for Windows.
Check out AutoIt
The functionality you want is also available via COM.
Most programs that interact with the GUI of other running applications use the Automation/Accessibility APIs built into windows. Take a look at linked overview page for details.
To answer the language part, anything that can call into those APIs will work (C++ and C# being fairly common for this purpose).

Is there any alive Haskell library which implements FRP and could be used to program UI/interactive graphics?
What I expect from such a library:
Doesn't use any crazy GHC extension, so code could be understood by mortals.
Not abandoned (had some commits in last 6 mouths and few answered thread in mailing lists).
Backed by some modern window library (Qt, GTK) and covers fair amount of it functionality.
Also has drawing and animation support, i.e. let the user to simply define some shapes and effects and bind their parameters to behaviors.
I checked some resources and picture is quite sad.
Original Fran and its ancestor Fruit family are officially dead.
Reactive is an abstract framework and doesn't have bindings to real UI/graphics (did I miss something?).
Netwire also look aimed for general case. Currently it has no documentation covering how to build UI/graphics with it. The only example is a full application not even close to tutorial.
Grapefruit looks good, but it had last commits in December 2013 and the mailing list full of spam. I consider it abandoned.
Yampa has not documentation at all, and the mailing list is silent since November 2013.
Reactive Banana has been updated relatively regularly, has bindings to SDL, some decent examples, a tutorial and a relatively small but decently commented API reference.
There's also a backend to wx, and see this question about using it with GtK.
The maintainer, Heinrich Apfelmus, is on Stack Overflow, and often answers questions on the reactive-banana tag.
Does this suit your needs?
GUI programming is the major use case of reactive-banana I believe.

I searched over Google, but I didn't find anything associated with my issues. However, I am able to use SwingTimer but it can do some basic things only, what I wan is some API that have multiple animation that I can select.
As it's none functional thing to my project(s), but it's a nice to have some animations to make the functional more comfortable with user.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Personally, I use the Timing Framework, this has more to do with the amount of library code I've built around it then it being superior to any of the other frameworks.
You may also wish to look at Trident, which has some nice mechanism for changing object properties and the Universal Tween Engine
Do you have to use frames? If i'm not mistaken, that's a pretty outdated element. Personally i'd use something like Twitter Bootstrap, they have a "tabbed system" that is much much better.

I need to find some good tools for designing UI. I need only the design part, I don't need any code generation or anything like that... It would be nice to find some freeware ;)

I've used Balsamiq Mockups and have been real happy with it.
It depends what you mean exactly by 'design'.
If you mean graphic design, as in you want to produce nice fancy graphics for your UI that you then slice up and integrate, then personally I always use Fireworks from Adobe (originally a Macromedia product). It's a vector based graphics tool so I find it much simpler to use than Photoshop or Illustrator. Not free however.
If you mean design as in laying out UI elements and experimenting with different ideas, e.g. for prototyping, then pen and paper is the best tool there is! Use sticky notes or a whiteboard to simulate changes in state, it's very easy to iterate and to prototype with users. There's even a book been written on it. If you need something digital but low-fi, then Baclsamiq Mockups is a good choice, or anything that lets you draw simple shapes (Paint!).
(the preview screwed up the hyperlinks, I'm hoping this will turn out better when posted...)
The best free one I've found so far is Pencil, which can be installed as a stand-alone app or as a Firefox plugin.
Take a look at http://www.lovelycharts.com the key is simplicity so that you don't get wrapped up in design details when creating your UI
I find Mockup Screens really useful.

I have used Microsoft Expression . It is an awesome tool for UI designing.
You can try ForeUI, really handy and meet your requirements, they are offering free license now.

I'm not a designer but I sometimes have to create/edit images for our applications.
In the past I've used "Microsoft Image Composer" - I like its user interface because it's object based and easy to use. Unfortunately it was discontinued and the old version I am using has some problems with png files.
I've tried to find a good replacement but everyone seems to be using layers instead of objects.
Do you know any image editors that are object based?
EDIT:
Still haven't found what I am looking for ... the best alternative so far is Paint.NET even though it uses layers.
Have you tried Illustrator? As a vector graphics app it might not be exactly "object based", but you work with independent shapes instead of pixel layers.
Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/ is a free alternative. I haven't tried it, but it seems like a winner.
Sticking to what's likely to already be on your machine, both PowerPoint and Visio are object oriented (but crude) image editors.
I guess no such software exists. That's a pity because I found that UI much better than the layer model.
