Abstract: The paper proposed an accelerating way of face detection based on dual-threshold cascade classifiers. First, it applied Gabor filter to extract the face-like features that were retained by template matching, then put eigenvectors extracted by the way of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) into the BP neural network as first classifier, then used dual-threshold to decide face or non-face on output end, and put the face or non-face of midway between up and down threshold into the AdaBoost classifier as the second classifier to decide. In this way, it can improve the detection rate and reduce the false rate while speeding up the detection speed. The experimental results prove that the precision of cascade classifier of face detection based on dual-threshold is superior to the classifier of single threshold.
