We formulate face localization as a Maximum A Posteriori Probability(MAP) problem of finding the best estimation of human face configuration in a given image. The a prior distribu...

This paper presents a strategy to improve the AdaBoost algorithm with a quadratic combination of base classifiers. We observe that learning this combination is necessary to get be...
Boosting based detection methods have successfully been used for robust detection of faces and pedestrians. However, a very large amount of labeled examples are required for train...
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...
Pedestrian detection from images is an important and yet challenging task. The conventional methods usually identify human figures using image features inside the local regions. In...
