A Real-Time Face Recognition System for Android Smart Phone

Abstract:

With the widely application of face recognition and the rapid development of Android OS, technique of face detection and recognition based on Android platform becomes increasingly attractive. This paper presents a real-time face recognition system on Android platform. The system realizes face detection by applying AdaBoost algorithm and face recognition by utilizing Eigenfaces. This paper also came up with some methods to speed up the face detection and recognition process and improve the correct rate of face recognition. Experimental results show that this system is able to realize real-time face detection and recognition on Android smart phones. In addition, all the work is completed on the smart phone without using any other terminals or tools.
