چکیده

We propose a novel approach to face identification and verification based on the Error Correcting Output Coding (ECOC) classifier design concept. In the training phase the client set is repeatedly divided into two ECOC specified sub-sets (super-classes) to train a set of binary classifiers. The output of the classifiers defines the ECOC feature space, in which it is easier to separate transformed patterns representing clients and impostors. As a matching score in this space we propose the average first order Minkowski distance between the probe and gallery images. The proposed method exhibits superior verification performance on the well known XM2VTS data set as compared with previously reported results.

Face Verification Using Error Correcting Output Codes

The Error Correcting Output Coding (ECOC) approach to classifier design decomposes a multi-class problem into a set of complementary two-class problems. We show how to apply the ECOC concept to automatic face verification, which is inherently a two-class problem. The output of the binary classifiers defines the ECOC feature space, in which it is easier to separate transformed patterns represent...

Robust Multi-view Face Detection Using Error Correcting Output Codes

This paper presents a novel method to solve multi-view face detection problem by Error Correcting Output Codes (ECOC). The motivation is that face patterns can be divided into separated classes across views, and ECOC multi-class method can improve the robustness of multi-view face detection compared with the view-based methods because of its inherent error-tolerant ability. One key issue with E...

Classification of EEG-based motor imagery BCI by using ECOC

AbstractAccuracy in identifying the subjects’ intentions for moving their different limbs from EEG signals is regarded as an important factor in the studies related to BCI. In fact, the complexity of motor-imagination and low amount of signal-to-noise ratio for EEG signal makes this identification as a difficult task. In order to overcome these complexities, many techniques such as variou...

On ECOC as Binary Ensemble Classifiers

The Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) is a representative approach of the binary ensemble classifiers for solving multi-class problems. There have been so many researches on an output coding method built on an ECOC foundation. In this paper, we revisit representative conventional ECOC methods in an overlapped learning viewpoint. For this purpose, we propose new OPC based output coding method...
