FACIAL FEATURES DETECTION USING TEXTURE HOUGH TRANSFORM

Abstract. The paper presents an original method for object detection. The “texture” Hough transform is used as the main tool in the search. Unlike classical generalized Hough transform, this variation uses texture LBP descriptor as a primitive for voting. The voting weight of each primitive is assumed by learning at a training set. This paper gives an overview of an original method for weights learning, and a number of ways to get the maximum searching algorithm speed on practice.
