ABSTRACT A real time face detector using Haar like features, Platform : Linux, Programming language: C++ Face

ce detection detects facial features and ignores anything else, such as buildings, trees and bodies. Uses separate classifiers to detect eyes, nose, mouth and face. Works on real-time continuous video input feed.

FLOWCHART

INTRODUCTION Face detection detects facial features and ignores anything else, such as buildings, trees and bodies. It is a specific case of object-class detection. In object-class detection, the task is to find the locations and sizes of all objects in an image that belong to a given class. Can be regarded as a more general case of face localization where the task is to find the locations and sizes of a known number of faces. THEORY Simple rectangular features, called Haar features: Based on Haar wavelets, that is a pair of adjacent rectangles- one light and one dark. The light region is interpreted as add that area and the dark region as subtract that area An Integral Image for rapid feature detection : Allows calculation of average intensity of any image section by accessing just 4 pixel values rather than hundreds at a time The AdaBoost machine-learning method A cascaded classifier to combine many features efficiently: It simply decides whether or not (yes or no) the object in an image is similar to the training set.

RESULT & CONCLUSION

The project robustly detects faces in the live video feed from the web-camera.

IMPLEMENTATION The project detects faces using: Simple rectangular features, called Haar features An Integral Image for rapid feature detection The AdaBoost machine-learning method A cascaded classifier to combine many features efficiently A decision stump is allowed just one decision of the following form: Is the value v of a particular feature f above or below some threshold t; then,
