In this paper an improved face detection method based on our previous Information-Based Maximum Discrimination approach is presented that maximizes the discrimination between face and non-face examples in a training set without even using color or motion information. A short review of our previous method is given together with the description of the intuition behind and our recent improvement on its detection speed. A person identification system has been developed that performs multi-modal person identification in real-time video based on this newly improved face detection method together with speaker identification.
