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

An image is first classified into skin/non-skin regions. Then, morphology algorithm is used to clean the skin-like image map by a pre-defined face element structure. Following that, face shape detection is carried out based on geometry. Experimental results show that the presented algorithm is flexible to various lighting conditions, faces with certain rotation conditions, multi-faces conditions and partial face covered conditions.展开更多
