Abstract

This paper shows an approach to the detection and identification of human faces in a color image. Detection of human faces is becoming a very important task in various applications, such as video surveillance and security control system, intelligent human computer interface, face recognition, content-based image retrieval, multimedia applications on the web like video conferencing and face database management. In this paper, k-means clustering has been used for distinguishing skin from non skin region. Then, some morphological operations have been performed to clean the image. Finally, region property measures have been used to locate face in the image.
