Face Detection Method Based on Skin Model and Regional Feature

Precision and speed are two appraisal criterions of face detection system. In order to get accurate precision and fast speed, this paper presents a novel method based on skin model and regional feature. This method extracts face pixels using skin model, then gets the face region through an extension method of mosaic, extracts the lip and eyes utilizing the built models and locates the central points based on the regional feature. Experiments show that the method performs easily and locates points accurately.
