  • Abstract
    We present a subspace approach to face detection with support vector machines (SVMs). A linear SVM classifier is trained as a filter to produce a subspace in which a non-linear SVM classifier with Gaussian kernel is trained for face detection. This makes training easier and results in a very efficient face detection algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate their promising performance compared with some well-known existing detectors.
