Maximum likelihood estimates for object detection using multiple detectors

Abstract
Object detection in real images has attracted much attention during the last decade. Using machine learning and large databases it is possible to develop detectors for visual categories that have a very high hit-rate, with low false positive rates. In this paper we investigate a general probabilistic framework for context based scene interpretation using multiple detectors. Methods for finding maximum likelihood estimates of scenes given detection results are presented. Although we have investigated how the method works for a specific case, namely for face detection, it is a general method. We show how to combine the results of a number of detectors i.e. face, eye, nose and mouth detectors. The methods have been tested using detectors... (More)
