A high speed reconfigurable face detection architecture

Face detection has been playing an important role in more and more fields, which makes it necessary and urgent to have its architecture reconfigurable to satisfy different requirements on detection capabilities. The paper proposes a face detection architecture, which could be adjusted by the users according to the environment, the sensor resolution, the different requirements of detection accuracy and speed. This user adjustable mode makes the reconfiguration simple and efficient, and especially benefits for the application of portable mobile terminals whose working condition often changes frequently. Experimental results show that the reconfiguration of the architecture is very reasonable in face detection and synthesized report also indicates its advantage on speed and accuracy.
