A Study on Face Detection Using Viola-Jones Algorithm in Various Backgrounds, Angles and Distances

Abstract

In recent years, research in image processing is very popular and demanding because of its diverse and humongous application. Face detection i one of the dominant mechanisms for security purpose, video surveillance, humane computer interaction, etc. Numerous algorithms have been proposed by many types of research regarding face detection and Viola-Jones algorithm is one of them. This paper deals with Viola-Jones algorithm for face detection in various positions and surroundings which include distance from the camera, background color, the angle of the object, etc. Further, this paper also performs an analysis in order to find the best settings that are appropriate for ViolaJones algorithm.
