Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian approach, inspired by probabilistic principal component
analysis (PPCA) (Tipping and Bishop in J Royal Stat Soc
Ser B 61(3):611–622, 1999), to detect objects in complex
scenes using appearance-based models. The originality of
the proposed framework is to explicitly take into account
general forms of the underlying distributions, both for
the in-eigenspace distribution and for the observation
model. The approach combines linear data reduction
techniques (to preserve computational efficiency), nonlinear constraints on the in-eigenspace distribution (to
model complex variabilities) and non-linear (robust)
observation models (to cope with clutter, outliers and
occlusions). The resulting statistical representation generalises most existing PCA-based models (Tipping and
Bishop in J Royal Stat Soc Ser B 61(3):611–622, 1999;
Black and Jepson in Int J Comput Vis 26(1):63–84, 1998;
Moghaddam and Pentland in IEEE Trans Pattern Anal
Machine Intell 19(7):696–710, 1997) and leads to the
definition of a new family of non-linear probabilistic
detectors. The performance of the approach is assessed
using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis on
several representative databases, showing a major
improvement in detection performances with respect
to the standard methods that have been the references up
to now.
