Abstract

The use of video cameras for security reasons has increased in recent times. Identify a person with automatic face detection systems have greater importance today; but the low-quality of the videos make it difficult and are still an open problem that many researchers are trying to solve. We propose a novel methodology for face detection on low-resolution videos based on parallel Gunnar Farnebäck optical flow algorithm, Haar Cascades and Local Binary Patterns. Our model does not use illumination normalization or super-resolution techniques, commonly used in literature. The results on the Caviar Database prove a better detection rate compared with OpenCv Library, Dlib C++ Library and Matlab function, which use the known Viola-Jones Haar cascade algorithm and HOGs. Even though these tools not have a number of detections up to 1%, our proposal can detect faces in a rate of 50%.
