Abstract

It has been demonstrated that combining the decisions of several classifiers can lead to better recognition results. The combination can be implemented using a variety of schemes, among which voting method is the simplest, but it has been found to be just as effective as more complicated strategies in improving the recognition results. In this paper, we propose a voting method for object location, which can be viewed as generalization of majority vote rule. Using this method, we locate eye centers in face region. The experimental results demonstrate that the locating performance is comparable with other newly proposed eye locating methods. The voting method can be considered as a general fusion scheme for precise location of object.
