Real-time implementation of robust face detection on mobile platforms

Although many face detection algorithms have been introduced in the literature, only a handful of them can meet the real-time constraints of mobile devices. This paper presents the real-time implementation of our previously introduced face detection algorithm on a mobile device. The steps taken to achieve such a realtime implementation are discussed. Real-time comparison results with the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm in terms of detection rate and processing speed are presented to demonstrate the robustness of our solution.
