Abstract

This paper propose the hardware architecture of face detection hardware system using the AdaBoost algorithm. The proposed structure of face detection hardware system is possible to work in 30frame per second and in real time. And the AdaBoost algorithm is adopted to learn and generate the characteristics of the face data by Matlab, and finally detected the face using this data. This paper describes the face detection hardware structure composed of image scaler, integral image extraction, face comparing, memory interface, data grouper and detected result display. The proposed circuit is so designed to process one point in one cycle that the prosed design can process full HD() image at 70MHz, which is approximate cycle. Furthermore, This paper use the reducing the word length by Overflow to reduce memory size. and the proposed structure for face detection has been designed using Verilog HDL and modified in Mentor Graphics Modelsim. The proposed structure has been work on 45MHz operating frequency and use 74,757 LUT in FPGA Xilinx Virtex-5 XC5LX330.
