A Face Detection Method Based on Color Image

To the problem of face detection, a new method based on color image is proposed, which is used for face detection in complex scene. Firstly, the rough face region is detected by establishing the skin color model. Then, the human face candidate area is processed for further selecting based on facial features, and the selected areas with the original face images were fused. Finally, the gray projection algorithm was adopted to determine the location of the human eyes and the face was verified using template matching method. The experiment shows that the proposed method can reduce the error rate, shorten the operation time and has strong robustness.
