英文摘要：

In order to achieve the face detection effectively, this paper proposed an improved algorithm of face detection based on the AdaBoost algorithm. The algorithm effectively combined Canny pruning and Gamma cor- rection algorithm, and effectively eliminated the influence of illumination and imaging equipment of face. And it uses the development tools such as Visual C ＋ ＋ and OpenCV to design a face detection system. The system u- ses 1 000 images with face and 1 000 background images to train a seven-stage cascade classifier, the size of these images are 20 - 20. Each classifier is a strong classifier and each strong classifier is composed of a set of weak classifiers based on the Haar feature. The system is tested by 137 images of faces and background, and the result is that the system gets the correct detection rate of 94.72%, and the error detection rate of 26. 42%.
