Face Detection Based on Viola-Jones Algorithm Applying Composite Features
Wen-yao LU, Ming Juan Yang · 2019
Viola-Jones' face detection algorithm was jointly proposed by Paul Viola and Michael Jones. Although it realized face real-time detection to some extent, its false detection rate is not low. Because the block features in the Viola-Jones algorithm can't handle purely rigid objects, such as chopsticks and cups, so if there are rigid objects in the face image, Viola-Jones' face detection algorithm is prone to generate false detection of faces. In this paper, we propose to apply the composite features based on Viola-Jones algorithm to improve the above problems, and prove the feasibility of this method through experiments.
