Embedded System Study for Real Time Boosting Based Face Detection
2006
This paper describes a study for a real time embedded face detection system. Recently, the boosting based face detection algorithms proposed by [(Viola, P and Jone, M, 2001); (Lienhart, R, et al., 2003)] have gained a lot of attention and are considered as the fastest accurate face detection algorithms today. However, the embedded implementation of such algorithms into hardware is still a challenge, since these algorithms are heavily based on memory access. A sequential implementation model is built showing its lack of regularity in time consuming and speed of detection. We propose a parallel implementation that exploits the parallelism and the pipelining in these algorithms. This implement…
Detection and matching of curvilinear structures
2011
We propose an approach to curvilinear and wiry object detection and matching based on a new curvilinear region detector (CRD) and a shape context-like descriptor (COH). Standard methods for local patch detection and description are not directly applicable to wiry objects and curvilinear structures, such as roads, railroads and rivers in satellite and aerial images, vessels and veins in medical images, cables, poles and fences in urban scenes, stems and tree branches in natural images, since they assume the object is compact, i.e. that most elliptical patches around features cover only the object. However, wiry objects often have no flat parts and most neighborhoods include both foreground a…
