First, by using the characteristic of human skin color clustering in the color space, the skin color area in YC b C r color space is extracted and a large number of irrelevant backgrounds are excluded; then for remedying the deficiencies of Adaboost algorithm, the cost-sensitive function is introduced into the Adaboost algorithm; finally the skin color segmentation and cost-sensitive Adaboost algorithm are combined for the face detection. Experimental results show that the proposed detection method has a higher detection rate and detection speed, which can more adapt to the actual field environment.展开更多
