Robust Real-time Object Detection Paul Viola Michael Jones viola@ mjones@ Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs Compaq CRL 201 Broadway, 8th FL One Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02139 Cambridge, MA 02142 Abstract This paper describes a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the “Integral Image” which allows the features used by our detector to be computed very quickly. The second is a learning algorithm, based on AdaBoost, which selects a small number of critical visual features and yields extremely efficient classifiers [6]. The third contribution is a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising object-like regions. A set of experiments in the domain of face detection are presented. The system yields face detection performace comparable to the best previous systems [18, 13, 16, 12, 1]. Implemented on a conventional desktop, face detection proceeds at 15 frames per second. 1. Introduction This paper brings together new algorithms and insights to construct a framework for robust and extremely rapid object detection. This
