Maximum Likelihood Face Detection

چکیده
In this paper we present a visual learning approach that uses non-parametric probability estimators. We use entropy analysis over the training set in order to select the features that best represent the pattern class of faces, and set up discrete probability models. These models are tested in the context of maximum likelihooddetection of faces. Excellent results are reported in terms of the correct-answer-false-alarm tradeoff as well as in terms of the computational requirements of the systems.

Frontal Face Detection Algorithms Based on Support Vector Machines and Maximum Likelihood
Face detection is a key problem in building automated systems that perform face recognition/ verification, modelbased image coding, face tracking, and surveillance. Two algorithms for face detection based on either support vector machines or maximum likelihood estimation are described and their performance is tested on a collection of single images from the M2VTS database that depict one fronta...
متن کاملFace Detection and Recognition Using Maximum Likelihood Classifiers on Gabor Graphs
We present an integrated face recognition system that combines a Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator with Gabor graphs for face detection under varying scale and in-plane rotation and matching as well as a Bayesian intrapersonal/extrapersonal classifier (BIC) on graph similarities for face recognition. We have tested a variety of similarity functions and achieved verification rates (at FAR 0.1%) ...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Training of the Embedded HMM for Face Detection and Recognition
The embedded hidden Markov model (HMM) is a statistical model that can be used in many pattern recognition and computer vision applications. This model inherits the partial size invariance of the standard HMM, and, due to its pseudo two-dimensional structure, is able to model twodimensional data such as images, better than the standard HMM. In this paper we describe the maximum likelihood train...

متن کاملFace Detection Using Mixtures of Linear Subspaces
We present two methods using mixtures of linear subspaces for face detection in gray level images. One method uses a mixture of factor analyzers to concurrently perform clustering and, within each cluster, perform local dimensionality reduction. The parameters of the mixture model are estimated using an EM algorithm. A face is detected if the probability of an input sample is above a predefined...
