Face detection is the first step of face recognition, and is a very active research topic in the filed of computer vision and pattern recognition. A skin color model based face detection method for chromatic images is proposed in this paper. The H-CgCr skin color model is established by taking advantage of the color pixels clustering distribution in the HSV and YCgCr color space. The noises are eliminated based on skin color segmentation, and the face candidate region is judged according to knowledge-based, finally, the position of the face area is marked by the box. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is feasible and effective.
