Abstract

This paper describes an extension to the Haar Classifier Cascade technique for object detection. Existing Haar Classifier Cascades are binary; the extension adds confidence measurement. This confidence measure was implemented and found to improve accuracy on two object detection problems: face detection and fish detection. For fish detection, the problem of selecting positive training-sample angle-ranges was also considered; results showed that large random variations that result in cascades covering overlapping ranges increases their accuracy.
