This master’s Thesis focuses on image processing on Android platform and development of an application, that is able to do face detection and recognition in real scene. Thesis gives highlight of modern algorithms of face detection. It first examines and compares the standard features of Android platform (FaceDetector a FaceDetectionListener) and JJIL, OpenIMAJ, OpenCV libraries experiment, and presents the results. For purposes of face recognition was selected OpenCV library. Three different algorithms of identification were tested: FisherFaces, EigenFaces a Local Binary Patterns Histograms. Based on performance comparison best methods were implemented in developed application.
