Improved Face Detection Algorithm in Mobile Environment

In this paper we propose a new algorithm to be able to implement fast and accurate search for the characteristic points in a face by scanning with Mobile Camera Phone (MCP). The algorithm transforms the RGB color space to the YUV (i.e.,use a matrixed combination of Red, Green and Blue to reduce the amount of information in the signal.), and detects the face color reducing the influence of brightness by Min-max normalization and histogram equalization. Experimental results show that this algorithm has more accurately than previous method.
