A survey of Haar-Like feature representation

Object detection has been one of the most studied topics in the computer vision literature. To detect an object in an image, the detector must have knowledge of the characteristics of the object. Various approaches have been utilized such as Haar-Like features, color information, texture, edge orientation, etc. While numerous methods have been proposed to extract information using Haar-like feature, we are unaware of any surveys on this particular topic. For this reason we wrote this paper for surveying the different researches on Haar-Like features.
