Face recognition technology for ubiquitous computing environment

Abstract

In this paper, we explore face detection and face recognition algorithms for ubiquitous computing environment. We develop algorithms for application programming interface (API) suitable for embedded system. The basic requirements include appropriate data format and collection of feature data to achieve efficiency of algorithm. Our experiment presents a face detection and face recognition algorithm for handheld devices. The essential part for proposed system includes; integer representation from floating point calculation, optimization of memory management scheme and efficient face detection performance on complex background scene. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
