Face Detection Using Improved LBP under Bayesian Framework
Hongliang Jin, Qingshan Liu, Hanqing Lu, Xiaofeng Tong · 2005
In this paper, we present a novel face detection approach using improved local binary patterns (ILBP) as facial representation. ILBP feature is an improvement of LBP feature that considers both local shape and texture information instead of raw grayscale information and it is robust to illumination variation. We model the face and non-face class using multivariable Gaussian model and classify them under Bayesian framework. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method has an encouraging performance.
