Abstract

This paper proposed a new method for the full face from complex backgrounds. Based on feature parameters of space gray level dependence (SGLD) matrix, the face texture model composed by a set of inequalities was derived. A color information utilization incorporated with the face texture feature was also investigated. Using the face texture model, we designed a kind of scanning scheme for face detection in color scenes, in which, the orange-like parts including the face areas were enhanced by utilizing the I-component of YIQ color system. The experiments showed that this method can locate the face position in the complex backgrounds effectively.
