A computer vision method is presented for the mobile robot to find humans in scene. Face detection is used for confirming humans. In order to reduce regions of search, optical flow algorithm is used to segment the image in advance. Asymmetric problems in face detection are explained, and relative solutions are put forward by bootstrapping strategy and asymmetric adaboost algorithm. In addition, fisher discriminant analysis further improves the performance of face detection. Multi-view face models are trained to accommodate practical face detection application. At last, experiments demonstrate that our multi-view face detector achieves high detection accuracy and fast detection speed on both standard testing datasets and real-life images.

This paper briefly introduced the development of video face detection and point out the shortage of current face detection system that may produce much of false alarms. Then we detail the classic Viola face detector which using integral image, Haar-like features and AdaBoost algorithm for training. Compared with Viola face detector, we proposed an available multi-model fusion method to reduce false alarms in video face detection that is combining head-shoulder detector with HOG features. After introduced the related knowledge of HOG features, we proposed a fusion detector structure which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of detection.

Small scale face detection is a very difficult problem. In order to achieve a higher detection accuracy, we propose a novel method, termed SE-IYOLOV3, for small scale face in this work. In SE-IYOLOV3, we improve the YOLOV3 first, in which the anchorage box with a higher average intersection ratio is obtained by combining niche technology on the basis of the k-means algorithm. An upsampling scale is added to form a face network structure that is suitable for detecting dense small scale faces. The number of prediction boxes is five times more than the YOLOV3 network. To further improve the detection performance, we adopt the SENet structure to enhance the global receptive field of the network. The experimental results on the WIDERFACEdataset show that the IYOLOV3 network embedded in the SENet structure can significantly improve the detection accuracy of dense small scale faces.

Because of the influence of complex image background, illumination changes, facial rotation and some other factors, makes face detection in complex background is much more difficult, lower accuracy and slower speed. Adaboost algorithm was used for face detection, and implemented the test process in OpenCV. Face detection experiments were performed on images with facial rotation and complex background, the detection accuracy rate was 85% and 99% respectively, the average detection time of each picture was 16.67ms and 76ms.Experimental results show that the face detection algorithm can accurately and quickly realize face detection in complex background, and can satisfy the requirements of real-time face recognition system.

Detection speed of traditional face detection method based on AdaBoost algorithm is slow since AdaBoost asks a large number of features. Therefore, to address this shortcoming, we proposed a fast face detection method based on AdaBoost and canny operators in this paper. Firstly, we use canny operators to detect edge of face image which separates the region of the possible human face from image, and then do face detection in the separated region using Modest AdaBoost algorithm (MAB). Before using MAB to achieve face detection, utilizing canny operators to detect edge can make this algorithm effectively filter information, retain useful information, reduce the amount of information and improve detection speed. Experimental results show that the algorithm can obtain higher detection accuracy and detection speed has been significantly improved at the same time.

In real life scenario, facial expressions and emotions are nothing but responses to the external and internal events of human being. In Human Computer Interaction (HCI), recognition of end user’s expressions and emotions from the video streaming plays very important role. In such systems it is required to track the dynamic changes in human face movements quickly in order to deliver the required response system. In real time applications, this Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is very helpful like physical fatigue detection based on facial detection and expressions such as driver fatigue detection in order to prevent the accidents on road. Face expression based physical fatigue analysis or detection is out of scope of this work, but this work proposed a Simultaneous Evolutionary Neural Network (SENN) classification scheme is proposed for recognising human emotion or expression. In this work, at first, automatically detects and tracks facial landmarks in videos, and face is detected by using enhanced adaboost algorithm with haar features. Then, in order to describe facial expression modifications, geometric features are taken out and the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is extracted to improve the detection accuracy and it has a much lower-dimensional size. With the aim of examining the temporal facial expression modifications, we apply SENN probabilistic classifiers, which examine the facial expressions in individual frames, and after that promulgate the likelihoods during the course of the video to take the temporal features of facial expressions such as glad, sad, anger, and fear feelings. The experimental results show that the performance of proposed SENN scheme is attained better results compared than existing recognition schemes like Time-Delay Neural Network with Support Vector Regression (TDNN-SVR) and SVR.

Face detection is a crucial prestage for face recognition and is often treated as a binary (face and nonface) classification problem. While this strategy is simple to implement, face detection accuracy would drop when nonface training patterns are undersampled. To avoid these problems, we propose in this paper a one-class learning-based face detector called support vector data description (SVDD) committee, which consists of several SVDD members, each of which is trained on a subset of face patterns. Nonfaces are not required in the training of the SVDD committee. Therefore, the face detection accuracy of SVDD committee is independent of the nonface training patterns. Moreover, the proposed SVDD committee is also able to improve generalization ability of the original SVDD when the face data set has a multicluster distribution. Experiments carried out on the extended MIT face data set show that the proposed SVDD committee can achieve better face detection accuracy than the widely used SVM face detector and performs better than other one-class classifiers, including the original SVDD and the kernel principal component analysis (Kernel PCA).

Rotation-Invariant Face Detection (RIPD) has been widely used in practical applications; however, the problem of the adjusting of the rotation-in-plane (RIP) angle of the human face still remains. Recently, several methods based on neural networks have been proposed to solve the RIP angle problem. However, these methods have various limitations, including low detecting speed, model size, and detecting accuracy. To solve the aforementioned problems, we propose a new network, called the Searching Architecture Calibration Network (SACN), which utilizes architecture search, fully convolutional network (FCN) and bounding box center cluster (CC). SACN was tested on the challenging Multi-Oriented Face Detection Data Set and Benchmark (MOFDDB) and achieved a higher detecting accuracy and almost the same speed as existing detectors. Moreover, the average angle error is optimized from the current 12.6° to 10.5°.
