Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, face-detection processing is more widely used in security applications, such as video surveillance system or entrance and exit monitoring system. Therefore, real-time processing becomes practically important, since a delay in detection time means a loss in safety for the system-manager. Conventional general purpose processors, or digital-signal processors, have high flexibility, but have difficulties to keep the real-time processing specifications. On the other hand, face-detection ASICs tend to increase the hardware cost and how to be redesigned when the processing algorithm changes. In this paper, a high-speed and a highly-accuracy parallel face-detection processing technique, which uses a Massive-Parallel Memory-Embedded SIMD Matrix processor (MX-1) is proposed to solve the above problems. The MX-1 can execute the face-detection algorithm in real-time and operates with power consumption of about 150 mW. Furthermore, MX-1 is programmable and therefore implements a software-based architecture. The face-detection algorithm applies Haar-like features and the AdaBoost algorithm. For effective face-detection processing, scan-window parallelization and reduction of the number of Haar-like features is also proposed. The achieved detection time is about 300 ms at 162 MHz clock frequency by using an evaluation board equipped with the MX-1 processor. Moreover, while keeping the accuracy of the face-detection rate, the number of Haar-like features can be reduced by about 85% below that of conventional public-domain software.
