INTERACTIVE Embedded FACE RECOGNITION.
Douglas A. Lyon, Nishanth Vincent · The Journal of Object Technology · 2009
This paper describes the design and construction of a prototype for embedded face detection and recognition algorithms.The test-bed is called the PITS (Portable Interactive Terrorist Identification System).It makes use of a hand-held device called the Sharp Zaurus.The embedded device has a processor, camera, color display, and wireless networking.This system is different from existing systems because of its embedded nature and its' use of Java technologies.The embedded device performs both detection and recognition.We present a skin color approach in the YCbCr color space for fast and accurate skin detection.We then process this image using a combination of morphological operators and elliptical shape of faces to segment faces from the other skin colored regions.An eigenface algorithm processes the segmented faces and matches the face to a face database.
