6 Outline Face recognition Eigenfaces Face detection The Viola & Jones system

7 The space of all face images When viewed as vectors of pixel values, face images are extremely high-dimensional 100x100 image = 10,000 dimensions However, relatively few 10,000-dimensional vectors correspond to valid face images We want to effectively model the subspace of face images

8 The space of all face images We want to construct a low-dimensional linear subspace that best explains the variation in the set of face images

9 Principal Component Analysis Given: N data points x 1, …,x N in R d We want to find a new set of features that are linear combinations of original ones: u(x i ) = u T (x i – µ) (µ: mean of data points) What unit vector u in R d captures the most variance of the data? Forsyth & Ponce, Sec. 22.3.1, 22.3.2

10 Principal Component Analysis Direction that maximizes the variance of the projected data: Projection of data point Covariance matrix of data The direction that maximizes the variance is the eigenvector associated with the largest eigenvalue of Σ N N

11 Principal component analysis The direction that captures the maximum covariance of the data is the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of the data covariance matrix Furthermore, the top k orthogonal directions that capture the most variance of the data are the k eigenvectors corresponding to the k largest eigenvalues

12 Eigenfaces: Key idea Assume that most face images lie on a low-dimensional subspace determined by the first k (k<d) directions of maximum variance Use PCA to determine the vectors or “eigenfaces” u 1,…u k that span that subspace Represent all face images in the dataset as linear combinations of eigenfaces M.

19 Recognition with eigenfaces Process labeled training images: Find mean µ and covariance matrix Σ Find k principal components (eigenvectors of Σ) u 1,…u k Project each training image x i onto subspace spanned by principal components: (w i1,…,w ik ) = (u 1 T (x i – µ), …, u k T (x i – µ)) Given novel image x: Project onto subspace: (w 1,…,w k ) = (u 1 T (x – µ), …, u k T (x – µ)) Optional: check reconstruction error x – x to determine whether image is really a face Classify as closest training face in k-dimensional subspace ^ M.

21 Limitations Global appearance method: not robust to misalignment, background variation

22 Limitations PCA assumes that the data has a Gaussian distribution (mean µ, covariance matrix Σ) The shape of this dataset is not well described by its principal components

23 Limitations The direction of maximum variance is not always good for classification
