AdaBoost Face Detection DLL Module using OpenCV with MATLAB Integration

Resource Overview

This MATLAB-based implementation utilizes an OpenCV-built AdaBoost face detection DLL module to perform real-time face detection on video streams captured from USB cameras. The system displays detection results in real-time, though with slightly lower performance compared to native C implementations. After downloading, users can run the module directly in MATLAB without modifying relative file positions within the folder structure.

Detailed Documentation

The AdaBoost face detection DLL module created using OpenCV and integrated with MATLAB offers significant practical value. The system employs the AdaBoost cascade classification algorithm through OpenCV's computer vision library to detect faces in real-time from video sequences acquired via USB cameras, with results displayed immediately. While the implementation demonstrates slightly reduced real-time performance compared to C-based solutions, it maintains robust detection capabilities through optimized MATLAB-to-DLL interface calls. The module utilizes MATLAB's external interface functions to load the pre-trained classifier and process video frames, implementing frame capture, grayscale conversion, and detection visualization within a single workflow. After downloading, users can execute the module directly in MATLAB environment without altering relative file positions, ensuring proper DLL dependency resolution and classifier data access.
