Abstract :
Face detection on general embedded devices is fundamentally different from the conventional approach on personal computer or consumer digital camera due to the limited computation and power capacity. The resource-limited characteristic gives rise to new challenges for implementing a real-time video surveillance system with smart cameras. In this work, we present the design and implementation of Pyramid-like FAce Detection (P-FAD), a real-time face detection system constructed on general embedded devices. Motivated by the observation that the computation overhead increases proportionally to its pixel manipulation, P-FAD proposes a hierarchical approach to shift the complex computation to the promising regions. More specifically, P-FAD present a three-stage coarse, shift, and refine procedure, to construct a pyramid-like detection framework for reducing the computation overhead significantly. This framework also strikes a balance between the detection speed and accuracy. We have implemented P-FAD on notebook, Android phone and our embedded smart camera platform. An extensive system evaluation in terms of detailed experimental and simulation results is provided. Our empirical evaluation shows that P-FAD outperforms V-J detector calibrated color detector (VJ-CD) and color detector followed by a V-J detector (CD-VJ), the state of the art real-time face detection techniques by 4.7 -8.6 on notebook and by up to 8.2 on smart phone in terms of thembedded smart camera platfoe detection speed.
