Abstract- In order torecognize a face, we would first need to detect a face from an image. During the last few years, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) has aroused increasinginterest in image processing and computer vision. LBP was originally proposedfor texture analysis, and has proved a simple yet powerful approach to describelocal structures. It has been extensively exploited in many applications, forinstance, face image analysis, image and video retrieval, environment modelling,visual inspection, motion analysis, biomedical and aerial image analysis,remote sensing. It is a machine learning based approach where a cascadefunction is trained from a lot of positive and negative images. It is then usedto detect objects in other images. Initially, the algorithm needs alot of positive images (images of faces) and negative images (imageswithout faces) to train the classifier.
