Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel method for reducing the computational complexity of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier without significant loss of accuracy. We a...
Face detection is a canonical example of a rare event detection problem, in which target patterns occur with much lower frequency than nontargets. Out of millions of face-sized wi...
Ear detection from a profile face image is an important step in many applications including biometric recognition. But accurate and rapid detection of the ear for real-time appli...

This paper develops a new approach for extremely fast detection in domains where the distribution of positive and negative examples is highly skewed (e.g. face detection or databa...
