Abstract: A single-view face detector and a novel face recognition method based on the aggregate channel feature (ACF) that work at real-time speeds, suitable in a computing resource-constrained setting are presented in this work. The four stage tree-based face detector is trained on a subset of the AFLW dataset. The face detection performance is analysed using the AFW dataset. The face recogniser uses ACF features along with classification algorithms, either SVM or MLP. The face recogniser is trained and tested on the GATech Face dataset. Our face detector displays comparable performance against the state of the art while working at 29.8 fps. The face recogniser achieves a level of performance that is competitive with other state of the art works. The effect of PCA-based dimension reduction of ACF features on face recognition performance is also studied in this work.
