Abstract

Face detection using AdaBoost algorithm is capable of processing images rapidly while having high detection rates. It seemed to be the fastest and the most robust and it is still today. Many improvements or extensions of this method have been proposed. However, previous approaches only deal with upright faces. They suffer from limited discriminant capability for rotated faces as these methods apply the same features for both upright and rotated faces. To solve this problem, it is necessary that we rotate input images or make independently trained detectors. However, this can be slow and can require a lot of training data, since each classifier requires the computation of many different image features. This paper proposes a robust algorithm for finding rotated faces within an image. It reduces the computational and sample complexity, by finding common features that can be shared across the classes. And it will be able to apply with multi-class object detection.
