 ABSTRACT
Face detection is an easy and simple task for humans, but not
so for computers. Face detection is the process of identifying
one or more human faces in images or videos. It plays an
important part in many biometric, security and surveillance
systems, as well as image and video indexing systems. There
are different types of algorithms used in face detection. Here,
we have used Viola-Jones algorithm for face detection using
MATLAB program. This include detection of not only face but
also eyes and upper body. In order to detect above things we
use different commands in it. While initially a form of
computer application, it has seen wider uses in recent times on
mobile platforms and in other forms of technology, such as
robotics. It is typically used as access control in security
systems and can be compared to other biometrics and face and
eyes recognition systems. Although the accuracy of facial
recognition system as a biometric technology is lower than iris
recognition and fingerprint recognition, it is widely adopted due
to its contactless and non-invasive process.

 INTRODUCTION
Object detection and tracking are important in many computer vision

applications, including activity recognition, automotive safety and surveillance.

Presented here is an face detection using MATLAB system that can detect not only a

human face but also eyes and upper body.

Face detection is an easy and simple task for humans, but not so for computers. It

has been regarded as the most complex and challenging problem in the field of computer

vision due to large intra-class variations caused by the changes in facial appearance,

lighting and expression. Such variations result in the face distribution to be highly

nonlinear and complex in any space that is linear to the original image space.

Face detection is the process of identifying one or more human faces in images or

videos. It plays an important part in many biometric, security and surveillance systems,

as well as image and video indexing systems.

This face detection using MATLAB program can be used to detect a face, eyes

and upper body on pressing the corresponding buttons.

This real-time face detection program is developed using MATLAB version

R2012a. A graphic user interface (GUI) allows users to perform tasks interactively

through controls like switches and sliders. You can easily create a GUI and run it in

MATLAB or as a stand-alone application. The program output screen is shown in Fig. 1.

VIOLA-JONES ALGORITHM

There are different types of algorithms used in face

detection. Here, we have used Viola-Jones algorithm for face
detection using MATLAB program. This algorithm works in
following steps:

1. Creates a detector object using Viola-Jones algorithm

2. Takes the image from the video

3. Detects features

4. Annotates the detected features

7
 AIM

The main aim of this project is to generate face recognition using

MATLAB based on appropriate code.

Face recognition is the process of identifying one or more people in

images or videos by analyzing and comparing patterns. Algorithms for

face recognition typically extract facial features and compare them to a

database to find the best match. Face recognition is an important part of

many biometric, security, and surveillance systems, as well as image

and video indexing systems.

 Procedure

Step 1: Preparing Data-set for Face Recognition using

Matlab

I have prepared a dataset of 40 people. Each of these people

has 10 images with different poses. That means in total there
are 40 x 10 = 400 images. For every individual, there is
separate folders. Explaining it in this way will create
confusion.

Step 2: Loading the Dataset for Face Recognition

function output_value = load_database();

persistent loaded;
persistent numeric_Image;
if(isempty(loaded))
all_Images = zeros(10304,40);
for i=1:40
cd(strcat('s',num2str(i)));
for j=1:10
image_Container = imread(strcat(num2str(j),'.pgm'));

10
 all_Images(:,(i-
1)*10+j)=reshape(image_Container,size(image_Container,1)*
size(image_Container,2),1);
end
display('Doading Database');
cd ..
end
numeric_Image = uint8(all_Images);
end
loaded = 1;
output_value = numeric_Image;

11
 MATLAB IMPLEMENTATION
loaded_Image=load_database();
random_Index=round(400*rand(1,1));
random_Image=loaded_Image(:,random_Index);

rest_of_the_images=loaded_Image(:,[1:random_Index-1
random_Index+1:end]);
image_Signature=20;
white_Image=uint8(ones(1,size(rest_of_the_images,2)));
mean_value=uint8(mean(rest_of_the_images,2));
mean_Removed=rest_of_the_images-
uint8(single(mean_value)*single(white_Image));
L=single(mean_Removed)'*single(mean_Removed);
[V,D]=eig(L);
V=single(mean_Removed)*V;
V=V(:,end:-1:end-(image_Signature-1));
all_image_Signatire=zeros(size(rest_of_the_images,2),image_Signature);
for i=1:size(rest_of_the_images,2);
all_image_Signatire(i,:)=single(mean_Removed(:,i))'*V;
end
subplot(121);
imshow(reshape(random_Image,112,92));
title('Looking for this Face','FontWeight','bold','Fontsize',16,'color','red');
subplot(122);
p=random_Image-mean_value;
s=single(p)'*V;
z=[];
for i=1:size(rest_of_the_images,2)
z=[z,norm(all_image_Signatire(i,:)-s,2)];
if(rem(i,20)==0),imshow(reshape(rest_of_the_images(:,i),112,92)),end;
drawnow;
end
[a,i]=min(z);

 CONCLUSION

Face recognition is still a challenging problem in

the field of computer vision. It has received a
great deal of attention over the past years
because of its several applications in various
domains. Although there is strong research
effort in this area, face recognition systems are
far from ideal to perform adequately in all
situations form real world. Paper presented a
brief survey of issues methods and applications
in area of face recognition. There is much work
to be done in order to realise methods that
reflect how humans recognise faces and
optimally make use of the temporal evolution of
the appearance of the face for recognition.
