Abstract
Human Face Detection is an important problem in the area of Computer Vision. Several approaches are used to detect the face for a given frame of an image but most of them fail to detect the faces which are tilted, occluded, or with different illuminations. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time face detection system which detects the faces that are tilted, occluded, or with different illuminations, any difficult pose. The proposed system is a desktop application with a user interface that not only collects the images from web camera but also detects the faces in the image using a Haar-cascaded classifier consisting of Modified Census Transform features. The problem with cascaded classifier is that it does not detect the tilted or occluded faces with different illuminations. Hence to overcome this problem, we proposed a system using Modified Affine Transformation with Viola Jones. Experimental results demonstrate that proposed face detection system outperforms Viola–Jones method by 6% (99.7% accuracy for the proposed system when compare to 93.5% for Voila Jones) with respect to three different datasets namely FDDB, YALE and “Google top 25 ‘tilted face’” image datasets.
