Image Processing Template<br />

Library (IPTL)<br />

The face detection algorithm has been implemented using<br />

our Image Processing<br />

Template Library (IPTL). This library brings the abstract data class, Image, from<br />

a class level to a container (a class template) level, Image Template.<br />

It has the<br />

advantages of easy conversion between images of different pixel types, a high reuse<br />

rate of image processing algorithms, <strong>and</strong> a better user interface <strong>for</strong> manipulating data<br />

in the image class level.<br />

C.1 Image <strong>and</strong> Image Template<br />

An image captures a scene. It is represented by a two-dimensional array of picture<br />

elements (so called pixels) in the digital <strong>for</strong>mat. Pixels can be of different data types,<br />

e.g., one bit <strong>for</strong> binary images, one byte or word <strong>for</strong> grayscale images, three bytes<br />
