A method and apparatus for recognizing and searching for a face using 2nd-order independent component analysis (ICA) are provided. The method for describing feature points uses 2nd-order ICA d to describe a facial image space and improve recognition performance in various illumination conditions. According to the method and apparatus, use of pose or illumination invariant face descriptor enables retrieval of human faces and authentication of a specific individual.

A method and apparatus for recognizing and searching for a face using 2nd-order independent component analysis (ICA) are provided. The method includes performing PCA on an input original image and generating a low-pass filtered image by removing high-frequency component from the original image, subtracting the low-pass filtered image from the original image and obtaining residual image having only frequency-components, and performing ICA on the residual image and generating feature information corresponding to the original image. While an original ICA subtracts independent components (i.e., independent basis components) from gray scale images, the proposed 2nd-order ICA is robust to illumination variation since it is applied to make the remaining images correspond to high pass frequency components.

Provided are a method and apparatus for extracting facial features from an image containing a face. The method and apparatus filter an input image using a filter set for face recognition at each of predetermined locations in the input image, merge values obtained by filtering the input image at locations, which are horizontally symmetrical to each other with respect to the center of the face, and synthesize values obtained by filtering the input image at locations which are not symmetrical to each other with respect to the center of the face with the merged values. Therefore, the time, feature values, and storage space required to extract or compare facial features can be significantly reduced. In addition, a face recognition system that runs well on low specification hardware can be implemented.

A method and apparatus for detecting an object are provided. The method calculates a feature value based on features extracted from an input image by using a classifier of an ith stage, compares the calculated feature value with a first threshold value of the ith stage, compares the feature value with a second threshold value of the ith stage according to a result of the comparison between the feature value and the first threshold value of the ith stage, and jumps to a classifier of an i+2th stage according to a result of the comparison between the feature value and the second threshold value of the ith stage. By doing so, the method can avoid repeated calculations and can rapidly detect the object in the input image.
