Investigate and Reimplement the Viola-Jones Face Detection Framework

Supervised by R.Gaizauskas

Abstract

The face detection is a significant technology in the computer vision field and its usage has become more and more important in our everyday life. This project aims to investigate the Viola-Jones face detection framework and reimplement it in Python. The techniques and concepts of the framework will be studied thoroughly to build the framework. The evaluation of this project is divided into three stages. a) evaluate the reimplementation of the Viola-Jones framework, b) evaluate the training result of the reimplemented framework, c) evaluate the result of the practical use which is the testing phase.
