Face Detection in Color Image

Human face detection plays an important role in variable applications. A face detection method based on skin-color information and facial feature in color images is proposed in this paper. First. the RGB color space is transformed to YCbCr space and only the skin region is extracted with the skin color information. And then, the candidate where face is likely to exist is selected after labeling processing. Finally, we detect facial features in face candidate. The experimental results show that the method proposed here is effective.
