Abstract

Face detection technology has been a hot topic in the past few decades. It has been maturely applied to many practical areas. Therefore, introducing an outperforming model is needed. Nevertheless, the proposed algorithms do not alter with the dynamic aspect of data and result in a high computational complexity. This paper expounds on how to promote the face detection rate from complex pictures by the means of one-class incremental learning strategy, while using low variance directions to project data. In fact, it has been shown that taking into account the information carried by low variance direction may improve the accuracy of the model in one-class classification problems. Besides, incremental learning is known to be compelling, especially in the case of dynamic data. A comparative evaluation of the proposed approach is performed in a decontextualized evaluation framework. Then a contextualized evaluation is conducted to show the effectiveness of the approach in the context of face detection.
