Abstract

A highly efficient algorithm for image-based face detection is proposed in this paper, whose features include a fast and regular search method, a local histogram equalization of face candidates, and a frontal face classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm works efficiently with different types of images. Besides, the average detection rate is 92%, and the required execution time is about 90ms/frame.
