Abstract -
The main objective of the paper is to propose an
algorithm on extraction of some fundamental information of an
image efficiently and then finally use that to detect the human
face on the image.The method proposed is based on assumption
that the image contains the frontal face.The described method
widely-used edge-based features. Firstly, the skin region is
detected using a colour based algorithm and Brightness
preserving histogram equalization techniques operated on RGB
to determine the presence of human and the head region is
calculated.Lastly, probable calculated head region is extracted
using Sobel Edge-Detection and matched with our trained
database files for further classification of the segmented image.
