Abstract

We introduce an efficient face detection system that can detect multiple faces in color images with various illuminations. The proposed system consists of two parts. The first part utilizes color and triangle-based segmentation to search the potential face regions. The second part performs face verification task by a multilayer neural network. The system can conquer distinct size, changed lighting condition, various pose, orientation, facial hair, and partial occlusion, presence of glasses, and diverse hair styles at the same time. Moreover, the system significantly speeds up the execution time of face detection with complex backgrounds. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is better than traditional methods in terms of altered circumstance and efficiency.
