Abstract

In this paper, we consider the face search in images by the Viola-Jones method. The method operation is controlled by a number of parameters affecting the balance between the numbers of false operations and missed faces, as well as the method speed. Selection of parameters for practical problems is rather laborious, since an optimal choice requires many experiments for a large data set. The objective of this study is to obtain a priori information on the effect of parameters on the method operation, the use of which would make it possible to efficiently select parameters without the need of preliminary collection of a test data set.
