چکیده
Multi-view face detection plays an important role in many applications. This paper presents a statistical learning method to extract features and construct classifiers for multi-view face detection. Specifically, a recursive nonparametric discriminant analysis (RNDA) method is presented. The RNDA relaxes Gaussian assumptions of Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA), and it can handle more general class distributions. RNDA also improves the traditional nonparametric discriminant analysis (NDA) by alleviating its computational complexity. The resulting RNDA features provide better accuracy than the commonly used Haar features in detecting objects of complex shapes. Histograms of extracted features are learned to represent class distributions and to construct probabilistic classifiers. RNDA features are subsequently learned and combined with AdaBoost to form a multi-view face detector. The method is applied to both multiview face and eye detection, and experimental results demonstrate improved performance over existing methods. 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The balanced hypercube BHn is a variant of the hypercube Qn. Huang and Wu proved that BHn has better properties than Qn with the same number of links and processors. In particularly, they showed that there exists a cycle of length 2 l in BHn for all l, 2 6 l 6 2n. In this paper, we improve this result by showing that BHn is edge-pancyclic, which means that for arbitrary edge e, there exists a c...

متن کاملMulti-View Face Detection in Open Environments using Gabor Features and Neural Networks
Multi-view face detection in open environments is a challenging task, due to the wide variations in illumination, face appearances and occlusion. In this paper, a robust method for multi-view face detection in open environments, using a combination of Gabor features and neural networks, is presented. Firstly, the effect of changing the Gabor filter parameters (orientation, frequency, standard d...
