Fast Face Detection Based on AdaBoost and Canny Operators

Abstract:

Detection speed of traditional face detection method based on AdaBoost algorithm is slow since AdaBoost asks a large number of features. Therefore, to address this shortcoming, we proposed a fast face detection method based on AdaBoost and canny operators in this paper. Firstly, we use canny operators to detect edge of face image which separates the region of the possible human face from image, and then do face detection in the separated region using Modest AdaBoost algorithm (MAB). Before using MAB to achieve face detection, utilizing canny operators to detect edge can make this algorithm effectively filter information, retain useful information, reduce the amount of information and improve detection speed. Experimental results show that the algorithm can obtain higher detection accuracy and detection speed has been significantly improved at the same time.
