Comparison of Paul Viola – Michael Jones algorithm and HOG algorithm for Face Detection

Abstract

Abstract The computer technology which helps to find the face of a person in video and image is face detection. It is like a biometric application that finds a person by analyzing and comparing the person’s face patterns. The face detection technique helps for security purposes, and also it has an rising interest in many fields. This technology has received good attention. It has some good applications based on law enforcement. For detecting face in an digital image, we have lot of algorithms. In this, Viola Jones algorithm and histogram of oriented gradients is used to detect the face of a person. The paper is proposed for a comparison between viola jones and Hog. By analyzing this we can find the gender, age and also emotions of the person. Here different type of images were used for detection. The Matlab tool and Jupyter is used for implementing this face detection process.
