Abstract

In view of the slow speed and time-consuming training problem of the human face detection in complex conditions, we put forward an improved algorithm. To counter the time-consuming training defect of the Adaboot algorithm, we improve the about error rate calculation formula while training the weak classifier, thus accelerating the training speed of the latter and reducing the overall training time. The experimental results show that the improved system has greatly improved the training speed.
