Abstract
An apparatus and a method for detecting from an image a particular subject corresponding to multiple views of the subject by dividing a particular subject space into a plurality of subject subspaces and further dividing a subject subspace into subject subspaces representing multiple views; configuring a tree-structured detector wherein the tree structure has a root node that covers all subject subspaces and has a plurality of branches, each branch corresponding to a child node that covers at least one subject subspace; training each node to determine which nodes in the adjacent lower layer the images of the subject in the corresponding nodes should be sent.
