Face is the primary index for imparting the identity. Automated face detection is one of the interesting field of research. Face detection of digital image has acquired much importance and interest in last two decades, which has applications in different fields. Computerizing the process needs many image processing methods. In this paper, a new face detection approach using color base segmentation and morphological operations is presented. The algorithm uses color plane extraction, background subtraction, thresholding, morphological operations(such as erosion and dilation ), filtering (to avoid false detection). Then particle analysis is done to detect only the face area in the image and not the other parts of the body. The color planes are extracted using vision module the RGB color space is converted into suitable color space such as HSV and YCbCr. The algorithm can be used to detect both single as well as multiple persons in a image. Experimental results of the algorithm show that , it is good enough to detect the human faces with an accuracy of 93% i.e., the efficiency of the detection is up to 93%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
