Abstract

This paper presents a simple and robust face detection algorithm that can be utilized to video summary. We firstly apply the Illumination-compensation process for reducing the effect of brightness on the image. And then, we analyze the face region based on color in the YCbCr space to obtain the skin color. Also, we try the morphological image processing called closing algorithm to improve the detection. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our face detection algorithm that leads to 96.7 % precision ratio on average.
