how much of your donations are going to Liu Liu, the original author of the hard part of this piece?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not just the algorithm, the whole detection code is just cutpasted from liu liu's repository. https://github.com/liuliu/ccv/blob/stable/js/ccv.js
The sheen is coming off this quite rapidly.
Looks like more evidence for Atwood's Law: Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. I have a couple of questions: 1. How does Liu Liu's algorithm (which I think he calls "deformable parts model") compare with Viola-Jones [1]? Any idea what the error stats (false positives & negatives) are like? In my experience [2] Viola-Jones has very low error rates. Regarding per…
The deformable part based model is pretty much /the/ state-of-the-art object detection model. There is absolutely no way it should be attributed to "Liu Liu". It's creators are Felzenszwalb et al.[1]. The performance of DPMs far surpasses any other basic model such as a Viola Jones syle Haar cascade. Also you should find with DPMs that you are able to detect faces with far higher degrees of deformation - i.e. 3/4 pro…
As far as robustness is concerned I guess a lot depends on the quality of the training. The haar-caascade used in openCV is very well trained and generates few false +/-'ves. I wanted to know how this particular implementation of DPM performed.
