Improved information maximization based face and facial feature detection from real-time video and application in a multi-modal person identification system
Ziyou Xiong, Yunqiang Chen, R. Wang, Tse Shun Huang · 2003
In this paper an improved face detection method based on our previous information-based maximum discrimination approach is presented that maximizes the discrimination between face and non-face examples in a training set without using color or motion information. A short review of our previous method is given together with a description of a recent improvement of its detection speed. A person identification system has been developed that performs multi-modal person identification in real-time video based on this newly improved face detection method together with speaker identification.
