Face Detection by DSP Using Directly Connected Camera

Abstract

This work deals with face detection with using of directly connected camera to signal processor Blackfin (produced by Analog Devices). This work consists of description of interconnection between monochromatic camera KAC-9618 and DSP processor Blackfin BF-537. An algorithm of face detection and algorithm for communication between camera and DSP are also included. First of them is based on using of backpropagation neural network. Camera is controlled by setting values of its registers via I2C serial bus. In addition, there is an overview of used neural network.
