Title: Robust Face Detection Algorithm Based on Skin Segmentation and Adaboost
Abstract: Face detection has been widely used in many fields,such as face recognition,digital video processing,security access control,visual surveillance,content-based retrieval,and so on.Compared to many face detection methods,this paper proposed an improved face detection approach,which is based on the Adaboost algorithm and skin segmentation.Based on the color information,the skin regions are segmented from the color image.Some skin-like regions are eliminated by the size and aspect ratio of the region to obtain candidate face regions.The final face regions are obtained based on the gray features of Adaboost algorithm.Experiment results show the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm by testing a great deal of face color images.
