Original approach for the localisation of objects in images
Abstract
An original approach is presented for the localisation of objects in an image which approach is neuronal and has two steps. In the first step, a rough localisation is performed by presenting each pixel with its neighbourhood to a neural net which is able to indicate whether this pixel and its neighbourhood are the image of the search object. This first filter does not discriminate for position. From its result, areas which might contain an image of the object can be selected. In the second step, these areas are presented to another neural net which can determine the exact position of the object in each area. This algorithm is applied to the problem of localising faces in images.

In the citing paper
“The use of CNNs for detection and localization (Rowley et al. 1998) can be traced back to the 1990s, with a modest number of hidden layers used for object detection (Vaillant et al. 1994;Rowley et al. 1998;Sermanet et al. 2013), successful in restricted domains such as face detec-tion.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
