A Component-based Framework for Face Detection and Identification

摘要

We present a component-based framework for face detection and identification. The face detection and identification modules share the same hierarchical architecture. They both consist of two layers of classifiers, a layer with a set of component classifiers and a layer with a single combination classifier. The component classifiers independently detect/identify facial parts in the image. Their outputs are passed the combination classifier which performs the final detection/identification of the face.
