Systems and methods for training an AdaBoost based classifier for detecting symmetric objects, such as human faces, in a digital image. In one example embodiment, such a method includes first selecting a sub-window of a digital image. Next, the AdaBoost based classifier extracts multiple sets of two symmetric scalar features from the sub-window, one being in the right half side and one being in the left half side of the sub-window. Then, the AdaBoost based classifier minimizes the joint error of the two symmetric features for each set of two symmetric scalar features. Next, the AdaBoost based classifier selects one of the features from the set of two symmetric scalar features for each set of two symmetric scalar features. Finally, the AdaBoost based classifier linearly combines multiple weak classifiers, each of which corresponds to one of the selected features, into a stronger classifier.

A method and system for efficiently detecting faces within a digital image. One example method includes identifying a digital image comprised of a plurality of sub-windows and performing a first scan of the digital image using a coarse detection level to eliminate the sub-windows that have a low likelihood of representing a face. The subset of the sub-windows that were not eliminated during the first scan are then scanned a second time using a fine detection level having a higher accuracy level than the coarse detection level used during the first scan to identify sub-windows having a high likelihood of representing a face.

Converting a digital image from color to gray-scale. In one example embodiment, a method for converting a digital image from color to gray-scale is disclosed. First, an unconverted pixel having red, green, and blue color channels is selected from the color digital image. Next, the red color channel of the pixel is multiplied by α. Then, the green color channel of the pixel is multiplied by β. Next, the blue color channel of the pixel is multiplied by γ. Then, the results of the three multiplication operations are added together to arrive at a gray-scale value for the pixel. Finally, these acts are repeated for each remaining unconverted pixel of the color digital image to arrive at a gray-scale digital image. In this example method, α+β+≈1 and α>β.

A method and system for scanning a digital image for detecting the representation of an object, such as a face, and for reducing memory requirements of the computer system performing the image scan. One example method includes identifying an original image and downsamples the original image in an x-dimension and in a y-dimension to obtain a downsampled image that requires less storage space than the original digital image. A first scan is performed of the downsampled image to detect the representation of an object within the downsampled image. Then, the original digital image is divided into at least two image blocks, where each image block contains a portion of the original digital image. A second scan is then performed of each of the image blocks to detect the representation of the object within the image blocks.

A device for use in conjunction with a video processing device includes an adaptive filter for processing input pictures into selectively filtered pictures, based on a filter motion data. A deinterlacer selectively interpolates the selectively filtered pictures into selectively deinterlaced pictures, based on deinterlace motion data. A motion detector generates the filter motion data and the deinterlace motion data, based on detecting motion in the input pictures.
