摘要: A face-detection approach is proposed in the paper. Firstly, a luminance-conditional distribution model of skin-color information used to detect skin pixels color images; then, morphological operations are extract skin-region rectangles; finally, template matching based on linear transformation face each rectangle. Experimental results some images from FERET database and Internet encouraging. The algorithm shown be effective efficient detecting frontal faces images.
