Real-time face detection apparatus

摘要

Disclosed herein is a real-time face detection apparatus. The real-time face detection apparatus includes a down-scaling unit and a face region comparison unit. The down-scaling unit down-scales an input image at at least one ratio. The face region comparison unit creates a plurality of windows for the image down-scaled at the at least one ratio, acquires face region confidence of each of window images within the created windows by comparing the window image with a classifier, and determines whether the window image corresponds to a face region.
