چکیده

We propose a classification technique for face expression recognition using AdaBoost that learns by selecting the relevant global and local appearance features with the most discriminating information. Selectivity reduces the dimensionality of the feature space that in turn results in significant speed up during online classification. We compare our method with another leading margin-based classifier, the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and identify the advantages of using AdaBoost over SVM in this context. We use histograms of Gabor and Gaussian derivative responses as the appearance features. We apply our approach to the face expression recognition problem where local appearances play an important role. Finally, we show that though SVM performs equally well, AdaBoost feature selection provides a final hypothesis model that can easily be visualized and interpreted, which is lacking in the high dimensional support vectors of the SVM.

Face Recognition Based on Multiple Region Features

For face recognition, face feature selection is an important step. Better features should result in better performance. This paper describes a robust face recognition algorithm using multiple face region features selected by the AdaBoost algorithm. In conventional face recognition algorithms, the face region is dealt with as a whole. In this paper we show that dividing a face into a number of s...

Gabor Feature Selection for Face Recognition Using Improved AdaBoost Learning

Though AdaBoost has been widely used for feature selection and classifier learning, many of the selected features, or weak classifiers, are redundant. By incorporating mutual information into AdaBoost, we propose an improved boosting algorithm in this paper. The proposed method fully examines the redundancy between candidate classifiers and selected classifiers. The classifiers thus selected ar...
