Real time face detection/monitor using raspberry pi and MATLAB

Abstract

In this paper, we are implementing facial monitoring system by embedding face detection and face tracking algorithm found in MATLAB with the GPIO pins of Raspberry pi B by using RasPi command such that the array of LEDS follows the facial movement by detecting the face using Haar classifier, tracking its position in the range assigned using the eigenfeatures of the face, which are detected by eigenvectors of MATLAB and by face tracking, which is been carried by geometrical transformation so that motion and gesture of the face can be followed. By doing so we are opening up new way of facial tracking on a live streaming by the help of Viola Jones algorithm and an IR camera.
