       abstract = {In this paper we present a new method to enhance
object detection by removing false alarms and merging multiple
detections in a principled way with few parameters. The method
models the output of an object classi{\"{\i}}¬er which we consider as
the context. A hierarchical model is built using the detection
distribution around a target sub-window to discriminate between
false alarms and true detections. Next the context is used
to iteratively re{\"{\i}}¬ne the detections. Finally the detections are
clustered using the Adaptive Mean Shift algorithm.
The speci{\"{\i}}¬c case of face detection is chosen for this work as
it is a mature {\"{\i}}¬eld of research. We report results that are better
than baseline method on XM2VTS, BANCA and MIT+CMU
face databases. We signi{\"{\i}}¬cantly reduce the number of false
acceptances while keeping the detection rate at approximately
the same level and in certain conditions we recover miss-aligned
detections.},
