Recognition of the Image of a Person, Based on Viola-Jones

Abstract

In the field of image analysis, technological evolution is considered as an innovation through the application of algorithms in cameras for the detection and identification of objects and people, although these recognition tasks are complex for a computer. The general context of the application of the algorithms in the recognition of images is not known, therefore, the following research question is posed: What algorithm based on Viola-Jones allows the recognition of the image of a person? The objective of this investigation is to determine an algorithm based on Viola-Jones that allows to detect and identify the image of a person. This research was made through an algorithm comparison methodology, which allowed improving the recognition of a person’s image pattern, based on the techniques and methods found in pattern recognition. The results obtained will serve as support for future studies, considering that the application of the Viola-Jones-based algorithm allowed the recognition and identification of a person’s face in five different frontal perspectives, through a digital camera and was a fundamental basis to determine substantial improvements in the recognition of the image of a person.
