Abstract:
Drones, as known as unmanned aerial vehicles are aircrafts which can perform
autonomous pilot. They can easily reach locations which are too difficult to reach or
dangerous for human beings and collect images from bird's-eye view through aerial
photography. Enabling drones to identify people on the ground is important for a
variety of applications, such as surveillance, people search, and remote monitoring.
Since faces are part of inherent identities of people, how well face recognition
technologies can be used by drones becomes essential for future development of the
above applications. Face recognition identifying one or more people in images or
videos by analysing and comparing patterns. Algorithms for face detection typically
extract facial features and identifying them in the given video or image. In addition to
this process we add the tool of drone, which is used to monitor the activities at a next
level. Face detection is typically used in security systems. Besides that, it is also used
in human computer interaction. A general statement ofthe problem can be formulated
as follows, given still or video images of a scene, one or more persons in the scene can
be identified using a stored database of faces. The solution of the problem involves
face detection, feature extraction from the face regions and recognition.
