Face detection from cluttered images is challenging due to the wide variability of face appearances and the complexity of image backgrounds. This paper proposes a classification-based method for locating frontal faces in cluttered images. To improve the detection performance, we extract gradient direction features from local window images as the input of the underlying two-class classifier. The gradient direction representation provides better discrimination ability than the image intensity, and we show that the combination of gradient directionality and intensity outperforms the gradient feature alone. The underlying classifier is a polynomial neural network (PNN) on a reduced feature subspace learned by principal component analysis (PCA). The incorporation of the residual of subspace projection into the PNN was shown to improve the classification performance. The classifier is trained on samples of face and non-face images to discriminate between the two classes. The superior detection performance of the proposed method is justified in experiments on a large number of images. (C) 2003 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
