Face detection and recognition application for Android

This work describes the development of a face detection and recognition application developed into Raspberry Pi and Android. The application connects with the Raspberry Pi by Bluetooth protocols. The object detection is based on boosted cascade while the face recognition is based on Eigenfaces. The developed system may be especially useful for visually impaired users since it can contribute to facilitate their autonomous behavior during their everyday life. The developed device shows great potential for extrapolation to other areas as education of visually impaired users.
