A color-triangle-based approach to the detection of human face

Abstract

A robust and efficient human face detection system that can detect multiple faces in various surroundings is presented in this paper. The proposed system consists of two principal parts. The first part is to search for the potential face regions. The second part is to perform face verification task. Our system can conquer different size, different lighting condition, varying pose and expression, and noise and defocus problems. In addition to overcome the problem of partial occlusion of mouth and sunglasses, the color segmentation process can successfully extract skin color from complex backgrounds. Experimental results demonstrate that an approximately 98% success rate is achieved. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is better than traditional methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
