Recently the need for advanced security technologies are increasing as the occurrence of intelligent crime is growing fastly. Previous methods for face disguise detection are required for the improvement of accuracy in order to be put to practical use. In this paper, we propose a new disguise detection method using the template matching and Adaboost algorithm. The proposed system detects eyes based on multi-scale Gabor feature vector in the first stage, and uses template matching technique in oreder to increase the detection accuracy in the second stage. The template matching plays a role in determining whether or not the person of the captured image has sunglasses on. Adaboost algorithm is used to determine whether or not the person of the captured image wears a mask. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods in the detection accuracy of disguise faces.
