Face detection using generic eye template matching

Abstract

Face identification and detection has become very popular, interesting and wide field of current research area. As there are several algorithms for face detection exist but none of the algorithms globally detect all sorts of human faces among the different colors and intensities in a given picture. In this paper, a novel method for face detection technique has been described. Here, the centers of both the eyes are detected using generic eye template matching method. After detecting the center of both the eyes, the corresponding face bounding box is determined. The experimental results have shown that the proposed algorithm is able to accomplish successfully proper detection and to mark the exact face and eye region in the given image.
