چکیده

This paper presents a novel face detection approach in color images. We employ spatial histograms as robust features for face detection. The spatial histograms consist of marginal distribution of color image information. Facial texture and shape are preserved by the spatial histogram representation. A hierarchical classifier combining histogram matching and support vector machine is utilized to identify face and non-face. The experiments show that this approach performs an excellent capability for face detection, and it is robust to lighting changes.

The Combinational Use Of Knowledge-Based Methods and Morphological Image Processing in Color Image Face Detection

The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face...

Finding face features in color images using fuzzy hit-or-miss transform

This paper considers the problem of finding facial features in frontal color images. For a given image, our method at first detects skin regions on it using color segmentation in a 2D plane of selected color space (HSV, YES, YCrCb or normalized RGB), and after that generates face candidates. Then, we apply methods of fuzzy mathematical morphology to obtain face candidates in order to find a par...

Detecting Faces in Color Images Using an Adaptive Color Model and Salient Features

Face detection has many interesting applications such as a face recognition system, a surveillance system, and videolimage indexing system. In this paper, we propose a new method of face detection using an adaptive skin color model and salient features. First, we detect skin color segments by adjusting threshold window in HueSaturation(HS) subspace based on the distribution of color histogram. ...

A New Method for Eye Detection in Color Images

The problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. First, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. Second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . At last, the eye ce...
