Face detection method and apparatus with lookup table

摘要

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with face detection are disclosed. In embodiments, an apparatus may comprise one or more processors, cache memory, a lookup table of feature patterns, and a face detector. The lookup table is to be loaded into the cache memory, during operation, for use to detect whether a face is present in an image. The feature patterns within the lookup table are organized within the lookup table in accordance with relative connectivity of the feature patterns. The face detector to detect whether a face is present in an image, may use the lookup table of feature patterns loaded into the cache memory during detection for the face. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus for computing, including detecting a face in an image, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; cache memory; a lookup table of feature patterns to be loaded into the cache memory, during operation, for use to detect whether a face is present in an image, wherein the lookup table has a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of feature patterns, including a reference row or column of feature patterns, wherein non-reference feature patterns are stored into the lookup table in accordance with relative connectivity of the non-reference feature patterns to reference feature patterns of the reference row or column of the lookup table; and a face detector to be operated by the one or more processors to detect whether a face is present in an image, that uses the lookup table of feature patterns loaded into the cache memory during detection for the face.
