Abstract

This paper combines two face detection algorithms to create a hybrid method which is more accurate and robust than either of the original methods. The face detectors are compared using a database of 1,000 user uploaded photos, which is a small subset of a much larger 1 million photo database that was generated through a popular online application that enables people to upload facial photos and to accurately locate the face in each photo.
