Adaboost is the most widely used in face detection system. As reported in several literatures, face detection is usually carried out based on face image feature with a fixed integer weight through training. Whether the selected features from human face samples guarantee to be the best features or they can improve the potential correct rate while decreasing the false positive rate quickly is a topic worth investigating. Moreover, once the face detection techniques have been developed to a certain degree, the breaking of current bottlenecks toward a profound standard is still a long way to go.
In this thesis, we present a novel training method to improve Adaboost classifier for enhancing the detection performance. In our proposed method, it will reduce more false alarm than traditional Adaboost because the original features in Viola’s Adaboost used fixed integer weight features. The results show that the using of floating point weight will indeed select better features for detection. We abandon traditional training methods by using LDA and PCA to adjust each weight for obtaining the best feature. In addition to using LDA and PCA features, NDA feature is also integrated to decrease false alarm. In the training stage, we can also quickly decrease the false positive rate while achieving better detection results.
We then train the system architecture to make profound improvement for original floating point feature weight [9] in respect to speed. That is features are trained from the original Adaboost, then be fed to the second training process using LDA,PCA and NDA algorithms to adjust the feature weight combination as parallel processing for each selected feature. Finally, voting mechanism is adopted to select the last feature to achieve the best face detection rate.
