A classic face detection method was proposed by Viola and Jones, it is basically a boosted cascade simple detectors. The use of integral images improves speed. The point is, such detector works best for the faces in frontal view, there were examples of the method being trained to side view. Your drone would have an aerial view, from above, wouldn't it?

Dear Muhammad Ali ,

Thanks for your answer. I'll follow those links to enhance my knowledge.

Dear Cristian Ramos-Vera ,

Thanks for your answer. I will follow your suggestions.

Dear Oleg Lobachev ,

Thanks for your answer. Obviously yes. It has an aerial view. It is better to have the detectability in aerial view since the task is to search a person and capture that particular person in a given specific area.

Best regards,

Kasun
