Project 2: Object detection by Antiface projections

 

 

Description

         Implement the Antiface method for detection.

         Use antiface detectors as simple classifier in AdaBoost method.

Results

The detection results from both methods should be presented in the form of ROC curve, which shows the performance of the detection method by changing the threshold that controls the detection score. The x-axis is the number of true positives (faces found by the system) divided by the total number of faces in images (from the ground truth). The y- axis is (1- number of false positive, divided by the total number of non-face sub-images). False positive is a sub-image that the system detected as a face but it’s not marked as a face in the ground truth file.

 

Data sets

The system should be tested on  CBCL face set. This data set contains images for training and for testing.
