Face detection using L1 norm quantization

This is a code to detect faces using webcam input using L1 norm minimization criterion.

Description

This uses L1 norm minimization to detect between faces and non faces. 6 faces are used for training and the usual pre-processing like skin detection. The threshold is placed at 0.2 but can be modified as per requirement. The performance is sketchy at best. Check out the youtube link for the performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMYFo414eBs&feature=related

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3)
• Other requirements: Webcam if present, else can run on images with suitable modification.

The last three lines are commented. If you uncomment this then the result will be a video.
