face-detection-gabor
Face Detection using Neural Networks and Gabor Features
To run:
1- copy all files and directories to the MATLAB's work folder
* In order to run the program you must have Image Processing Toolbox
2- (Important) Navigate to the root folder which contains "main.m".
3- Type "main" or "run main" in the command window
4. Only fort the first time, the program creates Gabor filters and stores them in ./data/gabor.mat Training set dataset and stores it in ./data/imgdb.mat Neural Network and stores it in ./data/net.mat
5- imgdb is short for "image data base".
6- When the program menu appears click on "Train Network" and wait until the program is done with the training
7- click on "Test on Photos". A file dialog appeares. Select a .jpg photo. The selected photo may contain several face images but the program can only detect faces that can be fit inside a 27x18 window.
8- Wait until the program detects some faces.
Note*:
- This program only detects faces that can fit inside a 27x18 window.
- This program requires Image Processing Toolbox
- This program is tested on MATLAB 2013a and probably will not work with older versions of MATLAB.
