Lab Manual - DD2427 Image Based Classication and Recognition

During the past decade, many methods and techniques have been gradually developed and applied to solve the problem. These include vector quantization with multiple codebooks, face templates and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The latter technique is directly related to Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces. Here we will develop a face detection system based on the well-known work of Paul Viola and Michael Jones Viola and Jones [2001a]. This basically involves the interpretation of Haar-like features in a boosted cascade, see paper on the course homepage.
