This document discusses face detection and recognition techniques. It introduces the problems of detecting where a face is located in an image (face detection) and identifying who the face belongs to (face recognition). It then describes Viola and Jones' approach which uses AdaBoost learning on Haar-like features computed quickly using integral images to build a classifier cascade that can discard non-face regions and focus on potential face areas. Key steps involve using integral images and Haar-like features for fast computation, AdaBoost for feature selection, and a classifier cascade for efficient scanning.
