A 0.79mm/sup ~/ 29mW Real-Time Face Detection Core

A 0.79mm
²
29mW real-time face detection core is fabricated in a 0.13mum CMOS technology. It consists of 75k gate logic, 58kbit SRAM, and the ARM AMBA bus interface. Comprehensive optimization in both algorithm and hardware design improves performance and reduces area and power dissipation. The core can detect 8 faces per frame at 30 fps. Face detection accuracy is 92%
