One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for detecting an occurrence of an object in an image. During operation, the system selects a subwindow to be evaluated based upon a currently estimated likelihood of the object being detected within the subwindow. The system then performs an evaluation step on the subwindow to determine if the object exists in the subwindow, wherein performing the evaluation step involves updating the currently estimated likelihood of the object being detected in the subwindow. If evaluation of the subwindow is not complete after performing the evaluation step, the system stores information associated with the subwindow to facilitate subsequent evaluation of the subwindow.
