1.0 INTRODUCTION
Face recognition system is an application for identifying
someone from image or videos. Face recognition is classified
into three stages ie)Face detection, Feature Extraction, Face
Recognition. Face detection method is a difficult task in image
analysis. Face detection is an application for detecting an
object, analyzing the face, understanding the localization of the
face and face recognition. It is used in many application for
new communication interface, security etc. Face Detection is
employed for detecting faces from an image or from videos.
The main goal of face detection is to detect human faces from
different images or videos. The face detection algorithm
converts the input images from a camera to binary pattern and
therefore the face location candidates using the AdaBoost
Algorithm. The proposed system explains regarding the face
detection based system on AdaBoost Algorithm. AdaBoost
Algorithm selects the best set of Haar features and implements
in cascade to decrease the detection time. The proposed

System for face detection is intended by using Verilog and
ModelSim and also implemented in FPGA.
Face Detection System is to detect the face from image or
videos. To detect the face from video or image is gigantic. In
face recognition system the face detection is the primary stage.
Face recognition is a pattern recognition technique and one of
the most important biometrics; it is used in a broad spectrum
of applications. The accuracy is not a major problem that
specifies the performance of automatic face recognition system
alone, the time factor is also considered a major factor in real-
time environments. Recent architecture of the computer
system can be employed to solve the time problem, this
architecture represented by multi-core CPUs and many-core
GPUs that provide the possibility to perform various tasks by
parallel processing. However, harnessing the current
advancements in computer architecture is not without
difficulties. Motivated by such a challenge, this research
proposes a Face Detection and Recognition System (FDRS). In
doing so, this research work provides the architectural design,
detailed design, and four variant implementations of the FDRS.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH
Face recognition has gained substantial attention over in
past decades due to its increasing demand in security
applications like video surveillance and biometric surveillance.
Modern facilities like hospitals, airports, banks, and many more
other organizations are being equipped with security systems
including face recognition capability. Despite current success,
there is still ongoing research in this field to make facial
recognition system faster and accurate. The accuracy of any
face recognition system strongly depends on the face detection
system. The stronger the face detection system the better the
recognition system would be. A face detection system can
successfully detect a human face from a given image
containing face/faces and from live video involving human
presence. The main methods used in these days for face
detection are feature based and image based. Feature-based
method separates human features like skin color and facial
features whereas image-based method used some face
patterns and processed training images to distinguish between
face and non faces. Feature-based method has been chosen
because it is faster than image-based method and its’

implementation is far more simplified. Face detection from an
image is achieved through image processing. Locating the
faces from images is not a trivial task; because images not just
contain human faces but also non-face objects in clutter
scenes. Moreover, there are other issues in face recognition
like lighting conditions, face orientations and skin colors. Due
to these reasons, the accuracy of any face recognition system
cannot be 100%.
Face recognition is one of the most important biometrics
methods. Despite the fact that there are more reliable
biometric recognition techniques such as fingerprint and iris
recognition, these techniques are intrusive and their success
depends highly on user cooperation. Therefore, face
recognition seems to be the most universal, non-intrusive, and
accessible system. It is easy to use, can be used efficiently for
mass scanning, which is quite difficult, in case of other
biometrics. Also, it is natural and socially accepted.
Moreover, technologies that require multiple individuals to use
the same equipment to capture their biological characteristics
probably expose the user to the transmission of germs and
impurities from other users. However, face recognition is
completely non-intrusive and does not carry any such health
dangers.
Biometrics is a rapidly developing branch of information
technology. Biometric technologies are automated methods and
means for identification based on biological and behavioral
characteristics of an individual. There are several advantages of
biometric technologies compared to traditional identification
methods. To take adequate measures against increasing
security risks in the modern world, countries are considering
these advantages and are shifting to new generation
identification systems based on biometric technologies.
1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
Biometric systems are becoming an important element
(gateway) for information security systems. Therefore
biometric systems themselves have to satisfy high-security
requirements. Unfortunately, producers of biometric
technologies do not always consider security precautions. In
publications regarding biometric technologies, drawbacks and
weaknesses of these technologies have been discussed. Since

biometrics form the technology basis for large scale and very
sensitive identification systems (e.g. passports, identification
cards), the problem of adequate evaluation of the security of
biometric technologies is a current issue.
Also, some other issues with face detection and recognition
system are on individual with identical face like identical twins
and others, in situation like this it is possible for the system to
make mistake or error in processing the person image so as to
grant access to the rightful user.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objective of this project is to implement a face
recognition system which first detects the faces present in
either single image frames; and then identifies the particular
person by comparing the detected face with image database or
in both image frames.
In addition to the main objective of this research work, the
researcher also went far more to add other features to the new
system which are as fellow.
1. One of the objectives of this system is to design a system
that will help the organization maintain strong security in
the work environment.
2. Highlight areas of vulnerability in the new system
3. Develop a ridged and secure database for the organization
to enable them secure their sensitive data and records.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is primarily aimed at increasing efficiency in
security, this research work will help the users in maintaining
data. This system will reduce the rate of fraudulent activities as
it can as well keep track of registered users and grant them
access upon face recognition completion.
Also, the knowledge that would be obtained from this research
will assist the management to grow; also this research work
will also be of help to the upcoming researcher in this field of
study both with the academic students on their study.
