摘要:
An image processing method is provided for an image processing apparatus which executes processing by allocating a plurality of weak discriminators to form a tree structure having branches corresponding to types of objects so as to detect objects included in image data. Each weak discriminator calculates a feature amount to be used in a calculation of an evaluation value of the image data, and discriminates whether or not the object is included in the image data by using the evaluation value. The weak discriminator allocated to a branch point in the tree structure further selects a branch destination using at least some of the feature amounts calculated by weak discriminators included in each branch destination.

Even when a local area is varied, degradation in recognition accuracy and detection accuracy is suppressed. To that end, a pattern processing apparatus includes a reference local area setting portion 1802 for setting a reference local area based on the detection result of a feature point by a face organ feature point detecting portion 101, a varied local area generating portion 1803 for generating a plurality of varied local area patterns by referring to an image area near the reference local area, a similarity calculating portion 106 for calculating similarities in the reference local areas and in the varied local area patterns between the input pattern and the registered pattern, a representative similarity calculating portion 107 for calculating representative similarity from among the similarities, and a classifying portion 109 for determining a class to which the input pattern belongs.

A pattern identification unit generation method of generating a pattern identification unit in which a weak discriminator array obtained by cascade-connecting a plurality of weak discriminators branches, and weak discriminator arrays are connected to respective arms after branching, evaluates based on a processing result obtained by inputting a set of evaluation data to the weak discriminator array whether or not a weak discriminator array after branching reaches the number of stages to be connected. The number of stages of weak discriminators to be connected without branching as the weak discriminator array is determined based on this evaluation result.

An information processing apparatus and method enables a pattern discriminator to learn. The apparatus establishes a branch structure appropriate for learning a discriminator having the branch structure without increasing processing time. The apparatus includes a preliminary learning unit to learn a preliminary discriminator for a respective one of a plurality of combinations of variations in variation categories in a discrimination target pattern. A branch structure determination unit is provided to perform discrimination processing using the preliminary discriminator and to determine a branch structure of a main discriminator based on a result of the discrimination processing. A main learning unit is included to learn the main discriminator based on the branch structure.

Learning is sequentially executed with respect to weak discriminators based on learning data held in a storage device. Upon learning, an evaluation value for the weak discriminator is calculated. It is discriminated, based on a shift of the evaluation value, whether or not the learning is overlearning. If it is discriminated that the learning is overlearning, new learning data is added. Thus, the overlearning is easily detected and the learning is efficiently executed.

An image processing apparatus includes a comparison unit that selects a pixel of interest in a processing image, and compare magnitudes of luminance value of the pixel of interest and luminance value of each of a plurality of neighboring pixels having a predetermined positional relationship with the pixel of interest; a calculation unit that calculates a feature amount of the pixel of interest based on the predetermined positional relationship between the pixel of interest and each of the plurality of neighboring pixels and a comparison result obtained by the comparison unit. For two neighboring pixels at positions which are point symmetrical with respect to the pixel of interest, the comparison unit sets that only one of the two neighboring pixels has the predetermined positional relationship.
