Hybrid face detector based on an asymmetrical adaboost cascade detector and a Wavelet-Bayesian-Detector

Abstract

In this paper is proposed a hybrid face detector that combines the high processing speed of an Asymmetrical Adaboost Cascade Detector with the high detection rate of a Wavelet Bayesian Detector. This integration is achieved by incorporating this last detector in the middle stages of the cascade detector. Results of the application of the proposed detector to a standard face detection database are also presented.
