Computer Vision Project Report

Abstract

 A person with visual impairment is working on his/her computer an attacker can shoulder surf the person and possibly acquire sensitive information. Inability to judge the environment can also raise safety concerns. When a visually impaired person is in a unsafe neighborhood he/she cannot tell if someone is following them . Several researchers has already worked on the face detection problems. The most famous work in this area was conducted by Viola and Jones . They used Haar features and Adaboost algorithm to detect faces and their algorithm gives pretty good results on face detection. We used dlib libraries in this project which uses HOG features.
