HLS-based Hardware Acceleration on the Zynq SoC: A Real-Time Face Detection and Recognition System

Face detection and recognition system (FDRS) is widely used in modern biometric security systems. In this paper, we implement a new model of FDRS to identify human faces under different poses. Particularly, we propose the Viola-Jones detector to locate and detect human faces and the VanderLugt correlator (VLC) technique for identification. We propose two implementations based on Zync SOC. A set of experiments has been considered using the PHPID database where the faces ranging from -30° to +30°. For more details, see [4].
