Abstract : There is a rapidly growing demand for using smart cameras for various biometric applications. Despite of the offered small form-factor, most of these applications demand huge processing performance for real-time processing. Face recognition is one of these applications. In this paper we show that we can run face-recognition at video speed by implementing the algorithm on an architecture which combines a parallel pixel processor with a digital signal processor. Everything fits within the size of a normal surveillance camera.
