Component-Based Online Learning for Face Detection and Verification

摘要

Component detectors can accurately locate facial components, and component-based approaches can be used to build detectors that can handle partial occlusions. This paper proposes a face detection and verification method using component-based online learning. The main difference from previously reported component-based approaches is the use of online learning, which is ideal for highly repetitive tasks. This results in faster and more accurate face detection, because system performance improves with continued use. Further, uncertainty is added by calculating the standard deviation of face components and their relations.
