HERNANDEZ, Ernesto del T; CABRERA SARMIENTO, Alejandro  y  SANCHEZ SOLANO, Santiago. HYBRID HARDWARE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF VIOLA-JONES FACE DETECTION ALGORITHM USING AN FPGA. uct [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.63, pp.114-124. ISSN 1316-4821.

This work presents a design strategy for face detection using the P. Viola and M. Jones proposal. The system uses a Virtex-II Pro FPGA and a CMOS vision sensor connection in order to fulfill usual requests of image processing algorithms. Hardware implementation of some parts of the algorithm allows a 37% gain in performance over the equivalent software solution. One on the main advantages of this design relies on the possibility of using multiple size images in the face detection process.
