Towards Real-Time Multiresolution Face/Head Detection

Abstract

Reliable and real-time face detection is a basic ability for any Vision Based Interface. This paper combines and exploits the bene¯ts of two di®erent face detectors specialized each one in a speci¯c context. The resulting system improves their respective individual performances by means of their cooperation, the integration of temporal coherence, persistence and explicit knowledge about the human face, achieving a robust and close to real-time multiresolution face detector
