Active Testing for Face Detection and Localization

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2016-11-15 v1

Abstract

We provide a novel search technique, which uses a hierarchical model and a mutual information gain heuristic to efficiently prune the search space when localizing faces in images. We show exponential gains in computation over traditional sliding window approaches, while keeping similar performance levels.
