Description

The method that detects based on the fast face of a class support vector
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method that a kind of people's face detects, refer in particular to the thought that has proposed to adopt a quasi-mode analysis and solve people's face and detect problem, and a kind of method that detects based on the fast face of a class support vector is provided.
Background technology
Based on the human face analysis of image and video is one of research focus in computer vision and the area of pattern recognition in recent years, because it has broad application prospect, such as: biological characteristic authentication, information security, man-machine interaction and vision monitoring or the like.
It is one of committed step in the automatic human face analysis system that people's face detects.Its purpose is exactly to catch the position of finding people's face and existence thereof the next image from video camera, is further to analyze to do initial preparation.Therefore, the effect of people's face detection directly influences the performance of human face analysis system.
In recent years, people have proposed a large amount of method for detecting human face.Can divide two big classes substantially: one, early stage method is to utilize features of skin colors, and in conjunction with simple geometric feature etc.Its shortcoming is that in addition, the extraction of geometric properties is very sensitive to environmental factorss such as illumination to the background close with the colour of skin very robust not.Two, based on the method for learning.Utilize the method for statistical learning to find people's face pattern and non-face mode difference.Because it has good performance, now become the main stream approach that detects for people's face.
But mostly the detection of people's face is regarded as two class problems based on the method for detecting human face of study at present, promptly people's face pattern and non-face pattern are collected a large amount of people's face samples and non-face sample and are learnt the criterion of a classification.Such as: based on neural network method, based on the method for example study, based on the method for support vector machine with based on method of Adaboost or the like.We know that people's face pattern is easy to describe, but non-face pattern modeling is actually very difficult, all are non-face patterns because do not belong to the part of people's face pattern in image space.All be to produce non-face sample by the mode of booting in the present system, the quality of non-face sample is the performance of influence detection directly.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, propose people's face detection problem is regarded as a class problem, promptly only be concerned about " people's face pattern ", and the method that provides a kind of fast face based on a class support vector to detect, avoided influencing the performance of detection, thereby reached better detection effect owing to the quality of non-face sample.
According to the analysis to background technology, the model of people's face pattern is set up than being easier to, but the model of setting up non-face pattern almost is impossible, because all patterns that do not belong to people's face all should belong to non-face pattern, is inexhaustible.Starting point of the present invention is that people's face detection problem is regarded as a class problem, promptly only to the modeling of people's face pattern.We propose with having classification and representing a class support vector of ability to describe people's face pattern.In order to obtain better and the support vector of a compact class people face pattern, at first facial image is compressed in a low-dimensional, the compact simplification stream shape space.In addition, we also combine the skin color feature, and pretreatment such as mosaic figure further improves efficient and the performance that detects.

The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, the method that detects based on the fast face of a class support vector provided by the invention mainly comprises following step:
A) complexion model detects
Determine the position of people's face in image and video, the colour of skin of people's face is a very important information.At first use the color of skin that the zone of people's face to be detected is handled in our algorithm, filter out the zone that is in beyond the colour of skin space.Can improve speed and order of accuarcy that people's face detects like this.Concrete steps are as follows:
A1) set up the Gauss model of face complexion, and use it to carry out colour of skin check, can remove most non-face zone in the image to be detected;
A2) adopt the computings such as open and close in the Flame Image Process that area of skin color is incorporated into together, be for further processing as the candidate region.
We adopt normalized r, and the g color is set up face complexion bivariate Gauss model.
r=R/(R+G+B)
g=G/(R+G+B)
The average of Gauss model and variance are
Mean=E{x}, wherein x=(r, g) T
var=E{(x-m)(x-m) T}
Any given 1 x=(r x, g x) TProbit is
P(x)=exp(-(x-mean) Tvar -1(x-mean)/2)
In coloured image to be detected, calculate the probit of each picture element, probit can be considered as colour of skin point greater than preset threshold (such as 0.5), will filter remaining picture element then and be integrated into complete zone, 70% of image-region all be colour of skin point can be considered as people's face candidate region.
B) mosaic figure verification
According to the structure of people's face, we have also adopted some simple rules to remove some candidate regions that obtain by the skin-color model.Such as, in general, the average gray value of people's eye position is less than cheek and the part above the bridge of the nose.Near eyes or the face gradient density is greater than the gradient density of cheek.By these simple pretreatment, can further improve the speed and the robustness of our algorithm.We have adopted the method for mosaic figure, as shown in Figure 2.Concrete steps are as follows:
B1) people's face is divided into nine average zones;
B2) use following 8 gray scale density rule and 10 marginal density rules to carry out verification,
Gray scale density rule definition is as follows:
Rule 1:(1)<(2)
Rule 2:(3)<(2)
Rule 3:(1)<(4)
Rule 4:(3)<(6)
Rule 5:(5)<(4)
Rule 6:(5)<(6)
Rule 7:(8)<(9)
Rule 8:(8)<(7)
The marginal density rule definition is as follows:
Rule 1:(4)<(1)
Rule 2:(7)<(1)
Rule 3:(6)<(3)
Rule 4:(9)<(3)
Rule 5:(2)<(1)
Rule 6:(2)<(3)
Rule 7:(4)<(5)
Rule 8:(6)<(5)
Rule 9:(7)<(8)
Rule 10:(9)<(8)
B3) adopt a most mechanism of voting, for example Shang Mian 18 rules satisfy the candidate region that then can think people's face more than 14.
C) simplify manifold dimension-reducing
Because image space is the space of higher-dimension, and in fact facial image only belongs to the subspace of a low-dimensional in the pattern space.Traditional dimension reduction method such as pivot analysis, independent component analysis all are based on the linear analysis method that the overall situation is considered, can not describe in the facial image because complicated nonlinear change such as illumination, expression, attitudes.Non-linearity manifold study has obtained people's extensive concern in recent years, but present manifold learning method as, local linear (LLE), ISOMap and the Laplace Eigenmap etc. of embedding can not provide good treatment to the sample of the unknown.
It is a kind of linear manifold learning method of simplification that the present invention adopts local retaining projection (LPP).Its thought is exactly to go approximate Laplace Eigenmap method with a kind of mode of linearity, can obtain and be similar to the characteristics (the local distance of protecting) of stream shape.Concrete steps are as follows:
C1) adopt the LPP method that people's face sample is compressed in a low-dimensional, the compact stream shape subspace;
C2) learn to obtain a representative class support vector with a class support vector and describe people's face pattern.
D) grader decision-making
In the process that detects, after pretreatment such as skin-color feature, Masic figure, judge with a class support vector that obtains whether the candidate region is human face region.
Implementation result
It is the image that the colour of some random collectings has people's face.Image source comprises the image of own shooting, the image that has people's face that obtains from news video and from the stage photo image above the Internet etc.
