摘要
提出一种基于沃尔什特征的增强型AdaBoost 人脸快速检测算法,不仅具有很快的训练速度,而且利 用较少的非人脸样本进行训练就可以达到较好的检测效果。首先,提出用较少的沃尔什特征来代替大量的 Harr-Like 特征可以较大幅度的降低特征之间的冗余。然后提出一种双阈值增强型AdaBoost 算法,其中双阈 值的快速搜索方法大大节约了训练时间,并且在训练Cascaded 检测器过程中,前层分类器的训练结果对后层 分类器的训练具有指导作用,加强了总体检测器的性能,另外通过各层分类器阈值的调节,能够将人脸和非 人脸的训练结果尽量分离。最后,使用该算法训练的检测器对MIT+CMU 人脸测试库进行了测试,结果表明 该方法在训练速度、测试精度、检测时间等方面都优于相应的方法。
