Face Detection using Multi-modal Features

In this paper, propose efficient methods for reducing false detection rate in face detection procedure when images apply face recognition and face entertainment from web or personal photo. Previous detection methods focused on accurate face detection. So, false detection rate makes a problem when put to practical use. This problem can overcome to use additional information when face detection. Proper information is color. But real color - RGB information is not adequate for face detection. Because RGB information is sensitive to light variations. Thus need to transfer coordination properly to use. Transferred channels are defined with genetic algorithm. After that make a model of facial skin color to score face candidate is real face or not. Propose method can dramatic reduce false detection rate when face detection procedure
