detectfaces

Find faces in the image.

Calling Sequence

faces = detectfaces(im)

Parameters

im
The input image, color or gray image.
faces
An Nx4 matrix. Each row of the matrix contains information about a face position and size: [x,y,w,h]. (x,y) is the top-left corner coordinates of a rectangle contains a face; w,h are width and height of the rectangle respectively.

Description

The function finds faces in an image.

Examples

im = imread(SIVP_PATH+'/images/lena.png');
faces = detectfaces(im);
[m,n] = size(faces);
for i=1:m,
    im = rectangle(im, faces(i,:), [0,255,0]);
end;
imshow(im);
