Pattern Analysis and detection in images using neural networks


Abstract in English

A new face detection system is presented. The system combines several techniques for face detection to achieve better detection rates, a skin colormodel based on RGB color space is built and used to detect skin regions. The detected skin regions are the face candidate regions. Neural network is used and trained with training set of faces and non-faces that projected into subspace by principal component analysis technique. we have added two modifications for the classical use of neural networks in face detection. First, the neural network tests only the face candidate regions for faces, so the search space is reduced. Second, the window size used by the neural network in scanning the input image is adaptive and depends on the size of the face candidate region. This enables the face detection system to detect faces with any size.
