Abstract
A digital image processing method for detecting faces in a digital color image comprises the steps of: providing a distributed face detection system having complementary classifiers, wherein the classifiers are complementary in a frequency domain; selecting classifier parameters for the complementary classifiers from a plurality of different parameter generating sources, at least one of which is controllable by human input; reconfiguring the complementary classifiers in the distributed face detection system according to the selected classifier parameters; and detecting faces using the distributed face detection system.
