A Novel Approach to Face Detection and Feature Extraction using Image Processing

Abstract

This paper describes a human face detection and feature extraction based on skin color segmentation and geometry of face. The system consists of several stages. First, the system searches for the regions where face might exist by using skin color segmentation. After performing some morphological operation on the skin, it utilizes the aspect ratio of a face to find out possible face block, and then other feature extraction carried out within face block. Features are extracted using the size and the relative position. If system fails to find any of single feature in possible face block, it rejects face block.
