VIOLA – JONES

FILTER
(OBJECT DETECTION)
FACE DETECTION
Pareidolia is a characteristic from us
humans of being able to detect
faces, is a phenomenon that we
develop thanks to evolution.
ARTIFICIAL VISION
FACE DETECTION

• FACE DETECTION COULD BE

CLASSIFIED AS AN OBJECT
DETECTION, THE VIOLA JONES
ALGORITHM IS ONE METHOD
USE TO DETECT OBJECTS AND
FACES
 HAAR FEATURES

Similar to the convolution kernels used

in edge detection, haar elements detect
the presence of a feature in a image
 HOW IT WORK?
• VIOLA JONES ALGORITHM USES
24 X 24 WINDOWS EACH ONE
MADE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF
HAAR FEATURES WHEN IT
BEGINS, BUT CONSIDERING ALL
COMBINATIONS FROM TYPES
AND SIZES THERE ARE MORE
THAN 160,000 TYPES OF
WINDOWS THAT COULD BE USE
TO FIND FEATURES IN AN IMAGE
COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM

• TO FIND A MATCH USING

HAAR FEATURES THE
DIFFERENCE AMONG THE
SUM OF PIXELS OF WHITE
PART AND THE SUM OF
PIXELS OF THE BLACK PART
MUST BE EQUAL TO 1
 INTEGRAL IMAGES

• WITH INTEGRAL IMAGES WE

CAN REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF SUMS IN THE PROCESS
COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM

• THERE ARE MANY

FEATURE COMPARISONS
THAT ARE IRRELEVANT
 ADABOOST

• DEVELOPMENT OF A
STRONG CLASSIFIER TO
ONLY USE RELEVANT

• THE VIOLA JONES ALGORITHM
SCAN MANY TIMES THROUGH
THE SAME IMAGE
 MATLAB DOES IT

• YOU CAN USE THE FUNCTION VISION.CASCADEOBJECTDETECTOR TO

DETECT FACES AND OTHER OBTJECTS
