Rule-based face detection in frontal views
Abstract
Face detection is a key problem in building automated systems that perform face recognition. A very attractive approach for face detection is based on multiresolution images (also known as mosaic images). Motivated by the simplicity of this approach, a rule-based face detection algorithm in frontal views is developed that extends the work of G. Yang and T.S. Huang (see Pattern Recognition, vol.27, no.1, p.53-63, 1994). The proposed algorithm has been applied to frontal views extracted from the European ACTS M2VTS database that contains the videosequences of 37 different persons. It has been found that the algorithm provides a correct facial candidate in all cases. However, the success rate of the detected facial features (e.g. eyebrows/eyes, nostrils/nose, and mouth) that validate the choice of a facial candidate is found to be 86.5% under the most strict evaluation conditions.

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.
