Speech reading, also known as lip reading, is aimed at extracting visual cues of lip and facial movements to aid in recognition of speech. The main hurdle for speech reading is th...
We introduce a generalized representation for a boosted classifier with multiple exit nodes, and propose a method to training which combines the idea of propagating scores across ...
The detection of faces in images is fundamentally a rare event detection problem. Cascade classifiers provide an efficient computational solution, by leveraging the asymmetry in t...
This paper develops a new approach for extremely fast detection in domains where the distribution of positive and negative examples is highly skewed (e.g. face detection or databa...
A cost-sensitive extension of Real Adaboost denoted as asymmetric Real Adaboost(RAB) is proposed. The two main differences between Asymmetric RAB and the na¨ıve RAB are (1) a Ch...
