This paper integrates skin color model and improved AdaBoost into a face detection method for high-resolution images with complex backgrounds. Firstly, the skin color areas were detected in a multi-color space. Each image was subject to adaptive brightness compensation, and converted into the YCbCr space, and a skin color model was established to solve face similarity. After eliminating the background interference by morphological method, the skin color areas were segmented to obtain the candidate face areas. Next, the inertia weight control factors and random search factor were introduced to optimize the global search ability of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The improved PSO was adopted to optimize the initial connection weights and output thresholds of the neural network. After that, a strong AdaBoost classifier was designed based on optimized weak BPNN classifiers, and the weight distribution strategy of AdaBoost was further improved. Finally, the improved AdaBoost was employed to detect the final face areas among the candidate areas. Simulation results show that our face detection method achieved high detection rate at a fast speed, and lowered false detection rate and missed detection rate.

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.
