Face Detection and Localization of Facial Features in Still and Video Images

Abstract

Pattern recognition problem rely on the features inherent in the pattern of images. Face detection and recognition is one of the challenging research areas in the field of computer vision. In this paper, we present a method to identify skin pixels from still and video images using skin color. Face regions are identified from this skin pixel region. Facial features such as eyes, nose and mouth are then located. This approach reliably works for face sequence with orientation in head, expressions etc.
