Multiple face detection

Face is the primary index for imparting the identity. Automated face detection is one of the interesting field of research. Face detection of digital image has acquired much importance and interest in last two decades, which has applications in different fields. Computerizing the process needs many image processing methods. In this paper, a new face detection approach using color base segmentation and morphological operations is presented. The algorithm uses color plane extraction, background subtraction, thresholding, morphological operations (such as erosion and dilation), filtering (to avoid false detection). Then particle analysis is done to detect only the face area in the image and not the other parts of the body. The color planes are extracted using vision module the RGB color space is converted into suitable color space such as HSV and YCbCr. The algorithm can be used to detect both single as well as multiple persons in a image. Experimental results of the algorithm show that, it is good enough to detect the human faces with an accuracy of 93% i.e., the efficiency of the detection is up to 93%.

Image compression in matlab with explaination

Image
Image compression Wcompress command: The  wcompress  command performs either compression or uncompression of grayscale or truecolor images. Spiht parameter of wcompress: spiht' Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees Xc = wcompress( 'u' , 'wpeppers.wtc' ); uncompresses the file  SAV_FILENAME , which contains the compressed image, and returns the image  XC . Depending on the initial compressed image,  XC  can be a 2-D array containing either an indexed image or a 3-D array of  uint8  containing a truecolor image. [CR,BPP] = wcompress( 'c' ,X, 'wpeppers.wtc' , 'spiht' , 'maxloop' ,12); [COMPRAT,BPP] = wcompress('c',...)  returns the compression ratio  COMPRAT  and the bit_per_pixel ratio  BPP .` Comprat  states the compression ratio ‘ BPP'  =  'bpp'  or  'BPP'  sets the bit-per-pixel ratio. 'c'  : color transformation type (RGB  uint8 ). axis...

Data Types in Matlab

  MATLAB does not require any type declaration or dimension statements. Whenever MATLAB encounters a new variable name, it creates the variable and allocates appropriate memory space. If the variable already exists, then MATLAB replaces the original content with new content and allocates new storage space, where necessary. For example, Total = 42 The above statement creates a 1-by-1 matrix named 'Total' and stores the value 42 in it. Data Types Available in MATLAB MATLAB provides 15 fundamental data types. Every data type stores data that is in the form of a matrix or array. The size of this matrix or array is a minimum of 0-by-0 and this can grow up to a matrix or array of any size. The following table shows the most commonly used data types in MATLAB − Sr.No. Data Type & Description 1 int8 8-bit signed integer 2 uint8 8-bit unsigned integer 3 int16 16-bit signed integer 4 uint16 16-bit unsigned integer 5 int32 6 uint32 32-bit unsigned integer 7 int64 64-bit signed integer...

Face detection in Matlab with source code

Image
Face Detection Object detection and tracking are important in many computer vision applications, including activity recognition, automotive safety and surveillance. Presented here is an face detection using MATLAB system that can detect not only a human face but also eyes and upper body. Face detection is an easy and simple task for humans, but not so for computers. It has been regarded as the most complex and challenging problem in the field of computer vision due to large intra-class variations caused by the changes in facial appearance, ligh ting and expression. Such variations result in the face distribution to be highly nonlinear and complex in any space that is linear to the original image space. Face detection is the process of identifying one or more human faces in images or videos. It plays an important part in many biometric, security and surveillance systems, as well as image and video indexing systems. WHAT IS FACE DETECTION? The definition of face dete...
