CMU's Face Detector Demo

This is the front page for an interactive WWW demonstration of a face detector developed here at CMU. A detailed description of the system is available. The face detector can handle pictures of people (roughly) facing the camera in an (almost) vertical orientation. The faces can be anywhere inside the image, and range in size from 20 pixels (at the smallest) to covering the whole image.

Since the system does not run in real time, this demonstration is organized as follows. First, you can submit an image to be processed by the system. Your image may be located anywhere on the WWW. After your image is processed, you will be informed via an e-mail message.

After your image is processed, you may view it in the gallery (gallery with inlined images). There, you can see your image, with green outlines around each location that the system thinks contains a face. You can also look at the results of the system on images supplied by other people.

If you work in the area of face detection, you might find our database of test images useful.
