A General Framework for Object Detection
In: International Conference on Computer Vision ICCV'98.
Presents a general trainable framework for object detection in cluttered scenes. Defines an object class in terms of a subset of a dictionary of wavelet basis functions; this compact representation is used as input to a SVM classifier. The system is applied to both pedestrian and face detection.
