Nowadays, eyes detection is required and considered as the most important step in several applications, such as eye tracking, face identification and recognition, facial expression analysis and iris detection. This paper presents the eyes detection in facial images using Harris corner detection. Firstly, Haar-like features for face detection is used to detect a face region in an image. To separate the region of the eyes from a whole face region, the projection function is applied in this paper. At the last step, Harris corner detection is used to detect the eyes location. In experimental results, the eyes location on both grayscale and color facial images were detected accurately and effectively.

The system for the real time face detection is described in this paper. For face verification, support vector machine (SVM) was utilized. Although SVM performs quit well, SVM has a drawback that the computational cost is high because all pixels in a mask are used as an input feature vector of SVM. To resolve this drawback, a method to reduce the dimension of feature vectors using the integer DCT was proposed. Also for the real time face detection applications, low-complexity methods for face candidate detection in a gray image were used. As a result, the accurate face detection was performed in real time.

Face detection plays an important role in HCI and face recognition. In this paper, we propose a rotation-invariant real-time face detection algorithm for color images in complex background. It consists of four processing step: (1) motion detection, (2) skin color region filler, (3) Eyemap detector for rotated face, and (4) Adaboost face classifier. This system has been tested in in-door environments, such as office and achieves over 95% detection rate.

Face detection is still a challenging task under severe face pose variations in complex background. This paper proposes an effective algorithm which can detect single or multiple faces based on skin color detection and depth information. We introduce Gaussian mixture model(GMM) for skin color detection in a color image. The depth information is from three dimensional depth sensor of Kinect V2 device, and is useful in segmenting a human body from the background. Then, a labeling process successfully removes non-face region using several features. Experimental results show that the proposed face detection algorithm can provide robust detection performance even under variable conditions and complex background.

This paper proposes a face tracking scheme that is a combination of a face detection algorithm and a face tracking algorithm. The proposed face detection algorithm basically uses the Adaboost algorithm, but the amount of search area is dramatically reduced, by using skin color and motion information in the depth map. Also, we propose a face tracking algorithm that uses a template matching method with depth information only. It also includes an early termination scheme, by a spiral search for template matching, which reduces the operation time with small loss in accuracy. It also incorporates an additional simple refinement process to make the loss in accuracy smaller. When the face tracking scheme fails to track the face, it automatically goes back to the face detection scheme, to find a new face to track. The two schemes are experimented with some home-made test sequences, and some in public. The experimental results are compared to show that they outperform the existing methods in accuracy and speed. Also we show some trade-offs between the tracking accuracy and the execution time for broader application.

In many face recognition applications such as security systems, it is assumed that upright faces are given to the system. In order for the system to be used in more general environments, the system should be able to deal with the rotated faces properly. It is a generally used approach to rotate the face detection window and apply face detector repeatedly to detect a rotated face in the given image. But such an approach requires a lot of computation time. In this paper, a method of extracting the axis of symmetry for a given set of points is proposed. The axis of symmetry for the edge points in the face detection window is extracted in a way that is fast and accurate, and the face detector is applied only for that direction. It is shown that the mean and standard deviation of the symmetry detection error is $0^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$ respectively, for the database used.

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.

In this paper, we propose a real-lime face detection and tracking algorithm using AdaBoost(Adaptive Boosting) algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of two levels such as the face detection and the face tracking. First, the face detection used the eight-wavelet feature models which ate very simple. Each feature model applied to variable size and position, and then create initial feature set. The intial feature set and the training images which were consisted of face images, non-face images used the AdaBoost algorithm. The basic principal of the AdaBoost algorithm is to create final strong classifier joining linearly weak classifiers. In the training of the AdaBoost algorithm, we propose SAT(Summed-Area Table) method. Face tracking becomes accomplished at real-time using the position information and the size information of detected face, and it is extended view region dynamically using the fan-Tilt camera. We are setting to move center of the detected face to center of the Image. The experiment results were amply satisfied with the computational efficiency and the detection rates. In real-time application using Pan-Tilt camera, the detecter runs at about 12 frames per second.

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.

In this work, we suggest another method to localize DFT in spatial domain. This enables DFT algorithm to be used for local pattern matching. Once calculated, it costs same load to calculate localized DFT regardless of the size or the position of local region In spatial domain. We applied this method to face detection problem and got the results which prove the utility of our method.
