Abstract

In this paper, a face detection algorithm that uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for searching the image is proposed The algorithm uses a linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a fast and accurate classifier in order to search for a face in the two-dimension solution space Using PSO, the exhaustive search in all possible combinations of the 2D coordinates can be avoided, saving time and decreasing the computational complexity Moreover, linear SVMs have proven their efficiency in classification problems, especially in demanding applications Experimental results based on real recording conditions from the BioID database are very promising and support the potential use of the proposed approach to real applications.
