Abstract

Facial recognition plays a vital role in computer vision applications. Several face detection algorithms have been developed over time to accurately detect human faces in images and videos. This research paper presents a comparative analysis of popular face detection algorithms, including Viola-Jones, Haar Cascade, LBP (local binary patterns), SIFT (scale-invariant feature transform), and ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF), using precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy, and execution time as evaluation metrics. The objective is to assess the performance of these algorithms in detecting faces accurately and efficiently. The experiments were conducted on a dataset of images, and the results indicate varying levels of performance across the algorithms. Viola-Jones and Haar cascade classifier algorithms offer high accuracy and fast performance but may struggle in low-light conditions and with complex backgrounds. LBP, SIFT, and ORB algorithms showed trade-offs between accuracy and execution time but performed well under challenging conditions, such as low light, obstacles, and non-face objects. The findings of this analysis can aid researchers and practitioners in selecting the most suitable face detection algorithm based on their specific requirements and constraints. Further research can focus on hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of these algorithms or explore the potential of deep learning-based methods for improved face detection accuracy.
