Research of Image Detection Based on Improved AdaBoost Algorithm

In order to prevent more effectively the occurrence of the distortion of target weights’ distribution and further reduce system errors, a comprehensive improvement has been conducted on the algorithm’s weight updating and weight normalization to avoid the defects of the traditional AdaBoost image detection algorithm. It is proved that the improved algorithm is more effective.
