Sato and Yasutaka Kuriya}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {We here propose improved version of elastic graph matching (EGM) as a face detector, called the multi-scale EGM (MS-EGM). In this improvement, Gabor wavelet-based pyramid reduces computational complexity for the feature representation often used in the conventional EGM, but preserving a critical amount of information about an image. The MS-EGM gives us higher detection performance than Viola-Jones object detection algorithm of the AdaBoost Haar-like feature cascade. We also show rapid detection speeds of the MS-EGM, comparable to the Viola-Jones method. We find fruitful benefits in the MS-EGM, in terms of topological feature representation for a face. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {3}, year = {2012}, pages = {292 - 295}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9781}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/63}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 63, 2012}, }
