Face Detection Using an SVM Trained in Eigenfaces Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 The central problem in the case of face detectors is to build a face class model. We present a method for face class modeling in the eigenfaces space using a large-margin classifier like SVM. Two main issues are addressed: what is the required number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate and how to train the SVM for a good generalization. As the experimental evidence show, generally one needs less eigenfaces than usually considered. We will present different strategies for choosing the dimensionality of the PCA space and discuss their effectiveness in the case of face-class modeling.

Face Recognition using Eigenfaces , PCA and Supprot Vector Machines
This paper is based on a combination of the principal component analysis (PCA), eigenface and support vector machines. Using N-fold method and with respect to the value of N, any person’s face images are divided into two sections. As a result, vectors of training features and test features are obtain ed. Classification precision and accuracy was examined with three different types of kernel and...

ii ABSTRACT This report studies the 1991 Mathew Turk and Alexander Pentland paper: " Face Recognition using Eigenfaces " that appeared in the CVPR proceedings [1]. It has since become an extremely popular approach to face detection. Once implemented, the algorithm proves many of Turk and Pentland's claims of the Eigenface approach to detecting faces with a limited amount of training required. T...
متن کاملLearning a decision boundary for face detection
This paper describes a pattern classification approach for detecting frontal-view faces via learning a decision boundary. The classification can be achieved either by explicit estimation of density functions of two classes, face and non-face or by direct learning of a classification function (decision boundary). The latter is a more effective approach, when the number of training available exam...
متن کاملFace Class Modeling Using Mixture of SVMs
We 1 present a method for face detection which uses a new SVM structure trained in an expert manner in the eigenface space. This robust method has been introduced as a post processing step in a realtime face detection system. The principle is to train several parallel SVMs on subsets of some initial training set and then train a second layer SVM on the margins of the first layer of SVMs. This a...
