In this paper, we propose a face region detection based on skin-color distribution and facial feature extraction algorithm in color still images. To extract face region, we transform color using general skin-color distribution. Facial features are extracted by edge transformation. This detection process reduces calculation time by a scale-down scanning from segmented region. we can detect face region in various facial Expression, skin-color deference and tilted face images.

Human face detection plays an important role in variable applications. A face detection method based on skin-color information and facial feature in color images is proposed in this paper. First, the RGB color space is transformed to YCbCr space and only the skin region is extracted with the skin color information. And then, the candidate where face is likely to exist is selected after labeling processing. Finally, we detect facial features in face candidate. The experimental results show that the method proposed here is effective.

This paper presents face features detection and a new physiological neuro-fuzzy learning method by using two-dimensional variances based on variation of gray level and by learning for a statistical distribution of the detected face features. This paper reports a method to learn by not using partial face image but using global face image. Face detection process of this method is performed by describing differences of variance change between edge region and stationary region by gray-scale variation of global face having featured regions including nose, mouse, and couple of eyes. To process the learning stage, we use the input layer obtained by statistical distribution of the featured regions for performing the new physiological neuro-fuzzy algorithm.

In this study, we propose a method for effectively detecting and recognizing the face in image using RBFNNs pattern classifier and HCbCr-based skin color feature. Skin color detection is computationally rapid and is robust to pattern variation for face detection, however, the objects with similar colors can be mistakenly detected as face. Thus, in order to enhance the accuracy of the skin detection, we take into consideration the combination of the H and CbCr components jointly obtained from both HSI and YCbCr color space. Then, the exact location of the face is found from the candidate region of skin color by detecting the eyes through the Haar-like feature. Finally, the face recognition is performed by using the proposed FCM-based RBFNNs pattern classifier. We show the results as well as computer simulation experiments carried out by using the image database of Cambridge ICPR.

This paper presents a new human identification algorithm using partial features of the uncovered portion of face when a person wears a mask. After the face area is detected, the feature is extracted from the eye area above the mask. The identification process is performed by comparing the acquired one with the registered features. For extracting features SIFT(scale invariant feature transform) algorithm is used. The extracted features are independent of brightness and size- and rotation-invariant for the image. The experiment results show the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm.

This paper propose the hardware IP of real-time face detection system for mobile devices and digital cameras required for high speed, smaller size and lower power. The proposed face detection system is robust against illumination changes, face size, and various face angles as the main cause of the face detection performance. Input image is transformed to LBP(Local Binary Pattern) image to obtain face characteristics robust against illumination changes, and detected the face using face feature data that was adopted to learn and generate in the various face angles using the Adaboost algorithm. The proposed face detection system can be detected maximum 36 faces at the input image size of QVGA($320{\times}240$), and designed by Verilog-HDL. Also, it was verified hardware implementation by using Virtex5 XC5VLX330 FPGA board and HD CMOS image sensor(CIS) for FPGA verification.

Many does an application and application but the image analysis of face detection considerably is difficult. In order for with effect of the illumination which is irregular in the present paper America the illumination to range evenly in the face which is detected, detects a face territory, Complemented the result which detects only the front face of existing. With LAB color illumination revisions compared in Adaboost face detection of existing and 32% was visible the face detection result which improves. Bought two images which are input and executed Glassfire label rings. Compared Area critical price and became the area of above critical value and revised from RGB smooth anger and LAB images with LCFD system algorithm. The operational conversion image which is extracted like this executed a face territory detection in the object. In order to extract the feature which is necessary to a face detection used AdaBoost algorithms. The face territory remote login with the face territory which tilts in the present paper, until Multi-view face territory detections was possible. Also relationship without high detection rate seems in direction of illumination, With only the public PC application is possible was given proof user authentication field etc.

This paper proposed the real time face area detection using Wavelet transform and the strong detection algorithm that satisfies the efficiency of computation and detection performance at the same time was proposed. The detected face image recognizes the face by configuring the low-dimensional face symbol through the principal component analysis. The proposed method is well suited for real-time system construction because it doesn't require a lot of computation compared to the existing geometric feature-based method or appearance-based method and it can maintain high recognition rate using the minimum amount of information. In addition, in order to reduce the wrong recognition or recognition error occurred during face recognition, the input symbol of Hidden Markov Model is used by configuring the feature values projected to the unique space as a certain symbol through clustering algorithm. By doing so, any input face will be recognized as a face model that has the highest probability. As a result of experiment, when comparing the existing method Euclidean and Mahananobis, the proposed method showed superior recognition performance in incorrect matching or matching error.

This paper presents a multiple face detector based on a robust pupil detection technique. The pupil detector uses active illumination that exploits the retro­reflectivity property of eyes to facilitate detection. The detection range of this method is appropriate for interactive desktop and kiosk applications. Once the location of the pupil candidates are computed, the candidates are filtered and grouped into pairs that correspond to faces using heuristic rules. To demonstrate the robustness of the face detection technique, a dual mode face tracker was developed, which is initialized with the most salient detected face. Recursive estimators are used to guarantee the stability of the process and combine the measurements from the multi­face detector and a feature correlation tracker. The estimated position of the face is used to control a pan­tilt servo mechanism in real­time, that moves the camera to keep the tracked face always centered in the image.

In this paper, we present a face detection system using the Support Vector Domain Description (SVDD) in color images. Conventional face detection algorithms require a training procedure using both face and non-face images. In SVDD however we employ only face images for training. We can detect faces in color images from the radius and center pairs of SVDD. We also use Entropic Threshold for extracting the facial feature and sliding window for improved performance while saving processing time. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared to conventional PCA (Principal Component Analysis)-based methods.
