Learning Human Face Detection in Cluttered Scenes

چکیده
This paper presents an example-based learning approach for locating vertical frontal views of human faces in complex scenes. The technique models the distribution of human face patterns by means of a few view-based \face" and \non-face" prototype clusters. A 2-Value metric is proposed for computing distance features between test patterns and the distribution-based face model during classiication. We show empirically that the prototypes we choose for our distribution-based model, and the metric we adopt for computing distance feature vectors, are both critical for the success of our system.

Learning a Distribution-based Face Model for Human Face Detection
We present a distribution-based modeling cum example-based learning approach for detecting human faces in cluttered scenes. The distribution-based model captures complex variations in human face patterns that cannot be adequately described by classical pictorial template-based matching techniques or geometric model-based pattern recognition schemes. We also show how explicitly modeling the dist...
متن کاملDetermining Effective Features for Face Detection Using a Hybrid Feature Approach
Detecting faces in cluttered backgrounds and real world has remained as an unsolved problem yet. In this paper, by using composition of some kind of independent features and one of the most common appearance based approaches, and multilayered perceptron (MLP) neural networks, not only some questions have been answered, but also the designed system achieved better performance rather than the pre...
متن کاملIterative nonlinear joint transform correlation for the detection of objects in cluttered scenes
An iterative correlation technique with digital image processing in the feedback loop for the detection of small objects in cluttered scenes is proposed. A scanning aperture is combined with the method in order to improve the immunity against noise and clutter. Multiple reference objects or different views of one object are processed in parallel. We demonstrate the method by detecting a noisy a...
متن کاملA New Approach for Fast Face Detection
In this paper, a new approach to reduce the computation time taken by neural networks for the searching process is introduced. Both fast and cooperative modular neural networks are combined to enhance the performance of the detection process. Such approach is applied to identify human faces automatically in cluttered scenes. In the detection phase, neural networks are used to test whether a win...
متن کاملLooking for Faces and Facial Features in Color Images
A rst step towards face recognition is the localization of face-like regions and the extraction of facial features as eyes, mouth and nose. Although a lot of work has already been done in this research area, the recognition of human faces out of a scene with cluttered background is still a problem that deserves further investigation. In this framework we present a novel approach to face localiz...
