Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a novel architecture of an engine for high performance multi-scale detection of objects in videos based on WaldBoost training algorithm. The key properties of the architecture include processing of streamed data and low resource consumption. We implemented the engine in FPGA and we show that it can process 640×480 pixel video streams at over 160 fps without the need of external memory. We evaluate the design on the face detection task, compare it to state of the art designs, and discuss its features and limitations.
