Abstract(in English) Recently, the face detection method using Adaboost and a cascaded classifier has been getting attention, which has been proposed by Viola et al. This method has a problem that it takes a long time for learning because features available for classification are selected from a large amount of Haar like features that have been prepared. Only a few features are actually used for a constructed classifier. In this paper, we propose the face detection method using Genetic Algorithm, Ternary logic, Real Adaboost and the cascaded classifier. This method requires only a few initial Haar like features. For every layer of the cascaded classifier (here, we regard each layer as a generation), feature candidates for the next layer (generation) are generated by GA and Ternary logic. Then the classifier is constructed by selecting available features by Adaboost. It has an advantage that it takes less time for learning than the method by Viola. We confirmed that proposed method was efficient through experiments using the common face database.
