In this paper, a fast, reliable automatic human face and facial feature detection is one of the initial and most important steps of face analysis and face recognition systems for the purpose of localizing and extracting the face region from the background. This paper presents a Crossed Face Detection Method that instantly detects low resolution faces in still images or video frames. Experimental results evaluated various face detection methods, providing complete solution for image based face detection with higher accuracy, showing that the present method efficiently decreased false positive rate and subsequently increased accuracy of face detection system in still images or video frames especially in complex backgrounds.
