Face detection using large margin classifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large margin classifiers have demonstrated their advantages in many visual learning tasks, and have attracted much attention in vision and image processing communities. In this paper we apply and compare two large margin classifiers, Support Vector Machines and Sparse Network of Winnows, to detect faces in still gray scale images. Furthermore, we study the theoretical frameworks of these classifiers and analyze the empirical results. Experiments on a test set of 24,045 images exhibit good generalization and robustness, and conform to theoretical analysis.

A Tale of Two Classifiers: SNoW vs. SVM in Visual Recognition
Numerous statistical learning methods have been developed for visual recognition tasks. Few attempts, however, have been made to address theoretical issues, and in particular, study the suitability of different learning algorithms for visual recognition. Large margin classifiers, such as SNoW and SVM, have recently demonstrated their success in object detection and recognition. In this paper, w...
متن کاملIndexing Methods for Efficient Multiclass Recognition Indexing Methods for Efficient Multiclass Recognition Indexing Methods for Efficient Multiclass Recognition
Many real world image analysis problems, such as face recognition and hand pose estimation, involve recognizing a large number of classes of objects or shapes. Large margin methods, such as AdaBoost and Support Vector Machines (SVMs), often provide competitive accuracy rates, but at the cost of evaluating a large number of binary classifiers, thus making it difficult to apply such methods when ...
متن کاملGini Support Vector Machine: Quadratic Entropy Based Robust Multi-Class Probability Regression
Many classification tasks require estimation of output class probabilities for use as confidence scores or for inference integrated with other models. Probability estimates derived from large margin classifiers such as support vector machines (SVMs) are often unreliable. We extend SVM large margin classification to GiniSVM maximum entropy multi-class probability regression. GiniSVM combines a q...
متن کاملFloatBoost Learning for Classification
AdaBoost [3] minimizes an upper error bound which is an exponential function of the margin on the training set [14]. However, the ultimate goal in applications of pattern classification is always minimum error rate. On the other hand, AdaBoost needs an effective procedure for learning weak classifiers, which by itself is difficult especially for high dimensional data. In this paper, we present ...
متن کاملHierarchical PSO-Adaboost Based Classifiers for Fast and Robust Face Detection
We propose a fast and robust hierarchical face detection system which finds and localizes face images with a cascade of classifiers. Three modules contribute to the efficiency of our detector. First, heterogeneous feature descriptors are exploited to enrich feature types and feature numbers for face representation. Second, a PSO-Adaboost algorithm is proposed to efficiently select discriminativ...
