Abstract
The goal of face detection is to locate all regions that contain a face. This paper has a simple face detection procedure which has two major steps, first to segment skin region from an image, and second, to decide these regions contain human face or not. Our procedure is based on skin color segmentation and human face features (knowledge-based approach). In this paper, we used RGB, YCbCr, CEILAB (L*a*b) and HSV color models for skin color segmentation. These color models with thresholds, help to remove non skin like pixels from an image. We tested each skin region, that skin region is actually represents a human face or not, by using human face features based on knowledge of geometrical properties of human face. The experiment result shows that, the algorithm gives hopeful results. At last, we concluded this paper and proposed future work.
