Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for determining views of faces contained in an image, and face detection apparatus and method employing the same. The face detection apparatus includes a non-face determiner determining whether a current image corresponds to a face, a view estimator estimating at least one view class for the current image if it is determined that the current image corresponds to a face, and an independent view verifier determining a final view class of the face by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
Claims23
A face view determining apparatus comprising:
- a view estimator estimating at least one view class for a current image corresponding to a face;
- and
- an independent view verifier determining a final view class of the face by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
A face view determining method comprising:
- estimating at least one view class for a current image corresponding to a face;
- and
- determining a final view class of the face by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
A face detection apparatus comprising:
- a non-face determiner determining whether a current image corresponds to a face;
- a view estimator estimating at least one view class for the current image if it is determined that the current image corresponds to a face;
- and
- an independent view verifier determining a final view class of the face by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
A face detection method comprising:
- determining whether a current image corresponds to a face;
- estimating at least one view class for the current image if it is determined that the current image corresponds to a face;
- and
- determining a final view class of the face by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
An object view determining method comprising:
- estimating at least one view class for a current image corresponding to an object;
- and
- determining a final view class of the object by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
An object detection method comprising:
- determining whether a current image corresponds to a pre-set object;
- estimating at least one view class for the current image if it is determined that the current image corresponds to the object;
- and
- determining a final view class of the object by independently verifying the estimated at least one view class.
