Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for detecting faces in video image frames includes comparing a current image frame to a previously processed image frame to determine similarity, discarding the current image frame if the current image frame and the previously processed image frame are, detecting at least one detected facial image in the current image frame, comparing the at least one detected facial image to at least one most recently stored facial image stored in a most recently used (MRU) cache to determine similarity, discarding the at least one detected facial image if the at least one detected facial image and the at least one most recently stored facial image are similar; and storing the at least one detected facial image in the MRU cache if the at least one detected facial image and the at least one most recently stored facial image are not similar.
