ABSTRACT

Detection is the initial phase of several design approaches. Several techniques can be utilized for such a task. However, Viola-Jones’ object detector has recently been the most widely used one. The type of algorithm used by Viola-Jones [2] method for detection consists in applying rectangular features in images, finding a set of features that represent the desired object. It has made possible to precisely detect objects with great accuracy rate, low false positive rate and low computational cost. The algorithm has three parts, as described in the following paragraphs.
