Schneiderman, H. and Kanade, T. Object Detection Using the Statistics of Parts, Viola, P. and Jones Robust Real-time Object Detection,Object Detection Using the Statistics of PartsRobust Real-time Object Detection Andrew Gallagher
Dataset 16 images. 8 from my databases, and 8 from Flickr. Large ethnic, gender and age variety. 98 total faces. 66 “frontal” 32 profile.
Test The Viola Jones algorithm OpenCV implementation was used. (<2 sec per image). For Schneiderman Kanade, the demo was used. (~10-15 seconds per image, including web transmission).
Results The Schneiderman-Kanade is very good and definitely out-performs Viola-Jones. (higher detection rate and lower FP simultaneously). Ground Truth OpenCV FrontalDef ault OpenCV ProfileFace OpenCV Frontal Alt Tree PittPatt T=1 PittPatt T=3 Frontal Profile False Positive
