Square patch feature based face detection architecture for high resolution smart camera

Recognizing faces in a crowd in real-time is a key feature which would significantly enhance Intelligent Surveillance Systems. Previously we proposed a high resolution smart camera system that can be used for crowd surveillance. The challenge is with the increasing speed and resolution of the im...
