Rapid object detection using a boosted cascade of simple features
Paul A. Viola,Michael Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A machine learning approach for visual object detection which is capable of processing images extremely rapidly and achieving high detection rates and the introduction of a new image representation called the "integral image" which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust Real-Time Face Detection
Paul A. Viola,Michael Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a face detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates is described. But the detection performance is limited to 15 frames per second.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Robust real-time face detection
Paul A. Viola,Michael Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A new image representation called the “Integral Image” is introduced which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly and a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising face-like regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alignment by Maximization of Mutual Information
Paul A. Viola,William M. Wells +1 more
TL;DR: A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the pose of an object in an image that works well in domains where edge or gradient-magnitude based methods have difficulty, yet it is more robust than traditional correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting Pedestrians Using Patterns of Motion and Appearance
TL;DR: This paper describes a pedestrian detection system that integrates image intensity information with motion information, and is the first to combine both sources of information in a single detector.
