Abstract

Human face localization in an image is a key component in many intelligent applications. A compact face detecting method, especially suitable for multiple faces in a complex background, is proposed in this paper based on the symmetry property of the face and facial organs. The detector has a low computation load, a simultaneous localizing capability and is robust to bad illumination. Experiments show the effectiveness of the algorithm so it is potentially useful in related intelligent applications.
