Abstract

A novel face detector using the non-linear Fuzzy Integral operator is presented in this paper. The main advantage of this method is that it has a much lower false detection rate with the same optimal set of features as the state-of-the art Adaboost face detector. Furthermore, this novel face detector seems to have a better generalization capability than the Adaboost method. Preliminary results show a positive face detection rate higher than the 92% having a false detection rate lower than the 2% when using a four stage cascade scheme.
