Object recognition from a micro helicopter

Abstract

The rapid expansion of computer processing power combined with the rapid development of digital camera capability has resulted in equally rapid advances in computer vision capability and use. The Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV), is a free open source collection of computer vision routines geared mainly towards human-computer interactions, robotics, security, and others vision applications where the lighting and context of use cannot be controlled. The OpenCV library provides us a greatly interesting demonstration for face detection. Furthermore, it provides us programs (or functions) that they used to train classifiers for their face detection system, called HaarTraining, in this work we create our own object detection system, with object classifier using their function, in order to detect any object, not only faces.
