This paper presents a novel approach for real time face detection using heterogeneous computing. The algorithm uses local binary pattern (LBP) as feature vector for face detection. OpenCL is used to accelerate the code using GPU[1]. Illuminance invariance is achieved using gamma correction and Difference of Gaussian(DOG) to make the algorithm robust against varying lighting conditions. This implementation is compared with previous parallel implementation and is found to perform faster.
