Haar-like Features

1 Definition
Haar-like features are digital image features used in object
recognition. They are named after the Hungarian mathematician
Alfréd Haar.

2 Usage
These features are commonly used in the Viola-Jones object detection
framework, particularly for face detection in images and videos.

3 Algorithm
The Haar-like features are calculated over rectangular regions at multiple scales to
identify objects based on the values of the features.
