File Information
Description

Version : 5.3

Please visit the official website for this program at the address:

http://fadesys.omidsakhi.com

You will find instructions on how to run the program, some basic diagrams of the algorithm and also a forum and a contact page to discuss about it.

To run the program:

    1- copy all files and directories to the MATLAB's work folder
     * In order to run the program you must have Image Processing and Neural Networks Toolboxes

    2- find the file named "main.m"

    3- Double click on this file or type "main" in the command window

    4- a menu will be shown . click on "Train Network" and wait until the program is done with the training

    5- click on "Test on Photos". A dialog box will be appeared. Select a .jpg photo

    6- Wait until the program detects some faces

I have just download it and haven't check it yet. But iam sure it good. I am doing in face recognition using NN too. Hope i can learn a lot from yours

Good work, but has some problems with exact detection.

good work !!
thank you

Dear Omid,
when we run the Main under Matlab we received the following errors:
??? Error: File: C:\MATLAB6p1\work\loadimages.m Line: 6 Column: 6
Missing operator, comma, or semicolon.

Error in ==> C:\MATLAB6p1\work\main.m
On line 41 ==> IMGDB = loadimages;
We would appreciate it if you could help us solving the problem.
best wishes,
Dr. Tzafrir Shlomo

This source is for educational purpose only and is tested under MATLAB 7.0 . not for distribution or creating .exe files . Most of the compiling problems and building exe files return to Matlab bugs . Please check Matlab Bugs and Solutions .

excuse me sir,
my name is GoberGood.
I have been studying in Ahmad Dahlan University.
I have downloaded your program matlab about "face detection" at http://www.mathworks.com.
and I interest to develop your program
to finish the my master education. for that,
I hope to you to assist the me in collecting reference
of about " face detection" and problem any kind of which
you get when doing research. I very requiring of
your paper. forgiveness, if my english is bad.

11 Jul 2007 Suvad Selman

Hello,
I am Suvad Selman and I have one thing to ask (report). I have download this file, unzip it and when i run main.m i got some strange error messages. Here is the message that I get:
*WARNING* PREMNMX is an obsolete function.

Use MAPMINMAX instead, type HELP PREMNMX for bug warning.
Type NNTWARN OFF to suppress NNT warning messages.

Please help me so that I can run this program normally.
Thanks in advance.

Hi dear Mr. Sakhi.I'm a AI student.I run your code & found it very interesting & usefull so I decided to use it as a part of one of my projects.I have some questions about your project:what sort of images can be used for train & specially for test,do you have any database for it?do you have any document & refrences about it(maybe in farsi)?I will be very appriciating if you let me have those docs.I hope to receive your reply as soon as possible.Thanks in advance for your help.

Notes:
To run under linux (ubuntu) with Matlab 7.3 (R2006b), I made the following changes:

 * Use / instead of \ for paths in loadimages.m
 * Use mapminmax( x' )' instead of premnmx( x )
   in imscan.m and im2vec.m

??? Error using ==> network.train
Inputs are incorrectly sized for network.
Matrices must all have 2160 rows.

Error in ==> trainnet at 17

is it advisable to carry out a research in face detection techniques using image rpocesisng and neural networks?
24 Jun 2008 Alex Mugioiu

I'm working for my PhD in "Face Recognition". I have a number of databases of still faces. In order to reduce the computational level and to discard the background information i tried your algorithm for detection, but with little success. I'm confident that with your guidance (in training and using the network) i can obtain much better results.
Thank you in advance.

User-friendly interface, nice.
The only drawback is that test images need to be re-sized as the algorithm may only recognise faces appr. 27 x 18 pixels.

wonderful work , thank you, but it did not detect large image with high resolution
10 Dec 2008 Sahar Mirzaei

i am currently doing some survey on object recognition and neural network.
Your code is wonderful. Do you have some guidance or documentation about it. It would be very nice, if you could send me some documentation about this topic, so that I can undrestand your code more better. Thank in advance for your help.

I have seen your Face Detection using Gabor feature extraction and neural network. Your Gabor feature extraction method is different from the papers. And I can not understand it. Can you introduce some materia about your code. Just like some Gabor formulas.
