Abstract
The a contrario framework has been successfully used for the detection 
of lines, contours and other meaningful structures in digital images. In 
this paper we describe the implementation of an algorithm for face 
detection published in 2017 by Lisani et al. which applies the a 
contrario approach to the computation of the detection thresholds of a 
classical cascade of classifiers. The result is a very short cascade 
which obtains similar detection rates than a classical (and longer) one 
at a much lower computational cost.
