Image for Viola-Jones Algorithm

Viola-Jones Algorithm

The Viola-Jones algorithm is a method for detecting objects in images, commonly used for face detection. It works by quickly scanning an image and identifying areas that may contain the object of interest, like a human face. The algorithm relies on simple features derived from the image, arranged in a way that boosts performance, and uses a concept called "boosting" to combine many simpler classifiers into a robust one. It’s efficient and can operate in real time, making it suitable for applications like security systems and mobile apps.
