Abstract
A method constructs a strong classifier from weak classifiers by combining the weak classifiers to form a set of combinations of the weak classifiers. Each combination of weak classifiers is boosted to determine a weighted score for each combination of weak classifiers, and combinations of weak classifiers having a weighted score greater than a predetermined threshold are selected to form the strong classifier.
