This chapter describes a novel system that can track and recognize faces in real time using neural networks and genetic algorithms. The main feature of this system is a 3D facemask that combined with a neural network based face detector and adaptive template matching using genetic algorithms, is capable of detecting and recognizing faces in real time. Neural network learning and template matching enable size and pose invariant face detection and recognition while the genetic algorithm optimizes the searching algorithms enabling real time usage of the system. It is hoped that this chapter will show how and why neural networks and genetic algorithms are well suited to solve complex pattern recognition problems like the one presented in this chapter.

Nowadays, face detection and recognition have gained importance in security and information access. In this paper, an efficient method of face detection based on skin color segmentation and Support Vector Machine(SVM) is proposed. Firstly, segmenting image using color model to filter candidate faces roughly; And then Eye-analogue segments at a given scale are discovered by finding regions which are darker than their neighborhoods to filter candidate faces farther; at the end, SVM classifier is used to detect face feature in the test image, SVM has great performance in classification task. Our tests in this paper are based on MIT face database. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is encouraging with a successful detection rate.
