Abstract
In this paper, we propose a classification-based face detection method using compound features. Four kinds of features, namely, intensity, Gabor filter feature, decomposed gradient feature, and Harr wavelet feature are combined to construct a compound feature vector. The projection of the feature vector on a reduced feature subspace learned by principal component analysis (PCA) is used as the input of the underlying classifier, which is a polynomial neural network (PNN). The experimental results on testing a large number of images demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
