Evolutionary Optimization of Neural Networks for Face Detection

Evolutionary Optimization of Neural Networks for Face Detection
For face recognition from video streams speed and accuracy are vital aspects. The first decision whether a preprocessed image region represents a human face or not is often made by a neural network, e.g., in the Viisage-FaceFINDER video surveillance system. We describe the optimization of such a network by a hybrid algorithm combining evolutionary computation and gradient-based learning. The evolved solutions perform considerably faster than an expert-designed architecture without loss of accuracy.
