The Use of Neural Networks in Real-time Face Detection

Abstract

As continual research is being conducted in the area of computer vision, one of the most practical applications under vigorous development is in the construction of a robust real-time face detection system. Successfully constructing a real-time face detection system not only implies a system capable of analyzing video streams, but also naturally leads onto the solution to the problems of extremely constraint testing environments. Analyzing a video sequence is the current challenge since faces are constantly in dynamic motion, presenting many different possible rotational and illumination conditions. While solutions to the task of face detection have been presented, detection performances of many systems are heavily dependent upon a strictly constrained environment. The problem of detecting faces under gross variations remains largely uncovered. This study presents a real-time face detection system which uses an image based neural network to detect images.

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in Electronic Product Design

“…When these cameras first came out they were designed to highlight and show any faces that the camera could detect. This function is a useful indicator to detect if everyone in the photograph is looking at the camera (Curran, Xuelong, and McCaughley, 2005). However further advances in the technology have allowed increased pattern recognition to also check that everyone is smiling too.…”

A Novel Approach to Using Color Information in Improving Face Recognition Systems Based on Multi-Layer Neural Networks

“…In a complete face recognition application, face recognition is preceded by a face detection step that locates the face in the picture. Accurate face detection methods are studied by (Anifantis, et al, 1999;Curran, et al, 2005). However, in this article faces are manually cropped and resized to a face image of 19200 (160x120) pixels.…”

The Use of Neural Network to Recognize the Parts of the Computer Motherboard

“…There are many applications and works has done in this fields, such as manufacture quality control, different areas within the medical community like diagnose skin turmors automatically identification of finger prints to DNA analysis, in US space program and department..etc [4] Artificial Neural Network is an information processing system that has certain performance characteristics in common with biological Neural Networks [1] Neural Networks have became a popular technique for pattern recognition, face detection [1,[3][4][5] . They contain layers of processing elements, to process the input data coming from the image.…”
