Face-texture model based on SGLD and its application in face detection in a color scene

摘要

This paper proposed a new method for the full face detection from complex backgrounds. Based on feature parameters of space gray-level dependence (SGLD) matrix, the face-texture model composed by a set of inequalities was derived. A color information utilization incorporated with the face-texture feature was also investigated. Using the face-texture model, we designed a kind of scanning scheme for face detection in color scenes, in which the orange-like parts including the face areas were enhanced by utilizing the I component of the YIQ color system. The experiments showed that this method can locate the face position in the complex backgrounds effectively.
