基于AdaBoost算法的人脸检测原理与实现

一、AdaBoost人脸检测原理

1.1 基本思想

AdaBoost（Adaptive Boosting）是一种集成学习算法，通过组合多个弱分类器来构建一个强分类器。在人脸检测中，每个弱分类器基于简单的Haar-like特征进行决策。

1.2 Haar-like特征

Haar-like特征是通过计算图像中相邻矩形区域的像素和之差得到的，能够捕捉人脸的局部特征：

• 边缘特征
• 线性特征
• 中心环绕特征

1.3 AdaBoost训练过程

1. 初始化权重：为每个训练样本分配相等的权重
2. 迭代训练：
   • 训练弱分类器（基于单个Haar特征）
   • 选择错误率最小的弱分类器
   • 更新样本权重（增加错分样本的权重）
   • 计算该弱分类器的权重
3. 组合强分类器：加权组合所有弱分类器

1.4 级联分类器

为提高检测效率，使用级联结构：

• 前几层用少量特征快速排除非人脸区域
• 后续层用更多特征进行精细判断

二、MATLAB实现代码
