ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method, and medium for detecting a face in an image using classifiers generated by a boost algorithm are provided. The apparatus may include an image dividing unit dividing a black and white image into sub-windows; a sub-window detection unit detecting a sub-window corresponding to a face image in the divided sub-windows using the front part of the cascade of the classifiers and storing the sub-window detected as the face image; and a post-processing unit verifying whether each of sub-windows included in a group among a plurality of groups into which stored sub-windows are grouped is the face image using the number of child detections in each group and the latter part of the cascade of classifiers, integrating the sub-windows in the group according to the result of the verification, and outputting the result of the integration as the face image included in the black and white image.
