Description: Face detection, because of its vast array of applications, is one of the most active research areas in computer vision. In this book, we review various approaches to face detection developed in the past decade, with more emphasis on boosting-based learning algorithms.We then present a series of algorithms that are empowered by the statistical view of boosting and the concept of multiple instance learning.
