is it possible to do such a thing ? actually this just a idea ... i have not even started coding yet. i totally new to image processing. i do some research and find out about Opencv and face detection. i didn't find a tutorial for face shape identifying. as i know first i have to detect the face using opencv and after is it possible to identify the shape of the face ? i have to submit the project proposal on monday. this is my final year project idea. before submitting that i wanna know is that possible to do and how to do it.

Aren't you a little bit late with this? You certenly are :(
Still, what do you mean by "identifying the face shape"? Whith OpenCV you have the face, what exactly do you need more?

i wanna identify the shape of the face and suggest hair styles according to the face shape

How to define the face shape? Elippse? Circle? Rectangle? I don't think there's an algorithm which can tell you what the face shape is, unless you pre-defined the shape. Usually, the face detection algorithm is based on a characteristic library which collects lots of human faces for matching. For better detection ratio, you need to keep training your data. You can learn how OpenCV detects the matched faces.

For Java development using OpenCV, please start here: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/desktop_java/java_dev_intro.html[^].

I think other options you listed are just not serious.

Face detection is a difficult topic. You can read, for example, http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall08/cos429/CourseMaterials/Precept1/facedetect.pdf[^].

Try to find something else:

Sticking to "face detection topic" - as "face shape identification" is not a clear requirement for me now:

As HTML5 is intended to be a full platform, you can implement Haar Cascade in JS too, why not. See: https://github.com/foo123/HAAR.js/[^]. As for PHP, you can certenly link it to OpenCV too, see: http://www.xarg.org/project/php-facedetect/[^].
