Face classification is currently implemented in software. A hardware implementation allows real-time processing, but has higher cost and time to-market. The objective of this work was to implement a classifier based on neural networks MLP (Multi-layer Perception) for face detection. The MLP was used to classify face and non-face patterns. The system described using C language on a P4 (2.4 Ghz) to extract weight values. Then a Hardware implementation achieved using VHDL based Methodology. We targeted Xilinx FPGA as the implementation support.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
