Abstract — The main objective of the paper is to propose an algorithm on extraction of some fundamental information of an image efficiently and then finally use that to detect the human face on the image.The method proposed is based on assumption that the image contains the frontal face.The described method widely-used edge-based features. Firstly, the skin region is detected using a colour based algorithm and Brightness preserving histogram equalization techniques operated on RGB to determine the presence of human and the head region is calculated.Lastly, probable calculated head region is extracted using Sobel Edge-Detection and matched with our trained database files for further classification of the segmented image
