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.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2009/Atanasoaei_Idiap-RR-43-2010.pdf} }
