FEATURE-BASED FACE DETECTION: A SURVEY

Feature-based Human Face Detection Feature-based Human Face Detection

Human face detection has always been an important problem for face, expression and gesture recognition. Though numerous attempts have been made to detect and localize faces, these approaches have made assumptions that restrict their extension to more general cases. We identify that the key factor in a generic and robust system is that of using a large amount of image evidence, related and reinf...

Multi-feature Based Face Detection

In this paper a two-step face detection technique is proposed. The first step uses a conventional skin detection method to extract regions of potential faces from the image database. This skin detection step is based on a Gaussian mixture model in the YCbCr colour space. In the second step faces are detected among the candidate regions by filtering out false positives from the skin colour detec...

Face Detection: a Survey

Face Detection: A Survey

In this paper we present a comprehensive and critical survey of face detection algorithms. Face detection is a necessary first-step in face recognition systems, with the purpose of localizing and extracting the face region from the background. It also has several applications in areas such as content-based image retrieval, video coding, video conferencing, crowd surveillance, and intelligent hu...
