Viola Johns Face Detector - Given an image, it finds the location of the face

  • Cheap to run, very common on phones

Fourier Transform is used?

Sampling and the Nyquist rate
β€’ Aliasing can arise when you sample a continuous signal or image

  • occurs when your sampling rate is not high enough to capture the amount of detail in your image
  • Can give you the wrong signal/imageβ€”an alias
  • formally, the image contains structure at different scales
    • called β€œfrequencies” in the Fourier domain
  • the sampling rate must be high enough to capture the highest frequency in the image
    β€’ To avoid aliasing:
  • sampling rate β‰₯ 2 * max frequency in the image
    • said another way: β‰₯ two samples per cycle
  • This minimum sampling rate is called the Nyquist rate

Blurring a camera (physically, out of focus or fogging up glasses) can be used as a form of anti-aliasing, as it will reduce the high frequency signals
