Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with increasing face detection speed are described. One example method includes determining whether to control a face detection process to selectively perform a face detection in a patch in a digital image. The face detection may be based, at least in part, on determining whether the patch overlaps a face previously identified by the face detection process. The example method may also include providing a signal to control the face detection process to perform the face detection upon determining that a patch overlap does not exceed an overlap factor.
