چکیده

We present a distribution-based modeling scheme for representing and detecting human faces in cluttered scenes. A 2-Value metric is proposed for computing distance features between test patterns and the distribution-based model during classiication. We present performance statistics of our overall system, and empirical results comparing the discriminative power of feature sets based on our 2-Value metric , versus similar feature sets based on other classical distribution dependent distance measures .

A Texture-Based Statistical Model for Face Detection

Texture is an important cue for detecting objects that undergo shape deformation, pose changes and variations in illumination. We propose a general statistical model which relies on texture for learning an object class from a set of example images. We use the class of human faces to test our ideas. Once the model learns the distribution of the face images, it can then be used to classify new im...

IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL

  Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we have learned Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model have estimated by EM-algorithm.   In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image is made by Bayes rule. In fact, ...

Growing Gaussian Mixture Models for Pose Invariant Face Recognition

A major challenge for face recognition algorithms lies in the variance faces undergo while changing pose. This problem is typically addressed by building view dependent models based on face images taken from predefined head poses. However, it is impossible to determine all head poses beforehand in an unrestricted setting such as a meeting room, where people can move and interact freely. In this...

EE 368 Project: Face Detection in Color Images

We present in this report an approach to automatic detection of human faces in color images. The proposed approach consists of three parts: a human skin segmentation to identify probable regions corresponding to human faces; adaptive shape analysis to separate isolated human faces from initial segmentation results; and a view-based face detection to further identify the location of each human f...
