Abstract

A general classification framework, called boostingchain, is proposed for learning boosting cascade. In thisframework, a "chain" structure is introduced to integratehistorical knowledge into successive boosting learning.Moreover, a linear optimization scheme is proposed toaddress the problems of redundancy in boosting learningand threshold adjusting in cascade coupling. By thismeans, the resulting classifier consists of fewer weakclassifiers yet achieves lower error rates than boostingcascade in both training and test. Experimentalcomparisons of boosting chain and boosting cascade areprovided through a face detection problem. Thepromising results clearly demonstrate the effectivenessmade by boosting chain.
