Query: Asymmetric Pruning for Learning Cascade Detectors   Cascade classifiers are one of the most important contributions to real-time
object detection. Nonetheless, there are many challenging problems arising in
training cascade detectors. One common issue is that the node classifier is
trained with a symmetric classifier. Having a low misclassification error rate
does not guarantee an optimal node learning goal in cascade classifiers, i.e.,
an extremely high detection rate with a moderate false positive rate. In this
work, we present a new approach to train an effective node classifier in a
cascade detector. The algorithm is based on two key observations: 1) Redundant
weak classifiers can be safely discarded; 2) The final detector should satisfy
the asymmetric learning objective of the cascade architecture. To achieve this,
we separate the classifier training into two steps: finding a pool of
discriminative weak classifiers/features and training the final classifier by
pruning weak classifiers which contribute little to the asymmetric learning
criterion (asymmetric classifier construction). Our model reduction approach
helps accelerate the learning time while achieving the pre-determined learning
objective. Experimental results on both face and car data sets verify the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. On the FDDB face data sets, our
approach achieves the state-of-the-art performance, which demonstrates the
advantage of our approach.
