Claim:
1. An Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) comprising: an image node configured to process a first image and a second image by (i) detecting and correcting defective pixels of the first and the second images, (ii) correcting black-levels within the first and the second images, and (iii) providing gain control; a search node configured to search the first image and the second image to determine presence of a human face in the first and the second images based upon integral images of the first and second images, wherein an integral image comprises integral image pixel values, where an integral image pixel value for a pixel comprises the sum of all pixel values above and to the left of a location of the pixel; and an ensemble node configured to confirm the presence of the human face in the first and second images by comparing a template comprising pixel values with pixel values of a region of interest in the first and the second images, wherein the region of interest is based upon a determination by the search node of the presence of a human face, wherein the ensemble node comprises:
