Description
Summary:A dynamic counterpropagation network based on the forward only counterpropagation network (CPN) is applied as the classifier for face detection. The network, called the dynamic supervised forward-propagation network (DSFPN) trains using a supervised algorithm that grows dynamically during training allowing subclasses in the training data to be learnt. The network is trained using a reduced dimensionality categorized wavelet coefficients of the image data. Experimental results obtained show that a 94% correct detection rate can be achieved with less than 6% false positives. © 2009 World Scientific Publishing Company.
