Algorithm for precise frontal face detection
Michał Kawulok, Janusz Szymanek · 2013
The paper presents an algorithm for frontal face detection. At first a set of face candidates is selected based on ellipse detection with the Hough transform. Subsequently, every candidate is verified and for positive verification the detection precision is improved, which is particularly important for face recognition purposes. Results of conducted experiments, which are discussed in the paper, confirm high speed and effectiveness of the algorithm.
