In this paper, we address the problem of face detection in still images. We propose a fast algorithm for detecting human faces in color images. The algorithm uses color histogram for skin (in the HSV space) in conjunction with edge information to quickly locate faces in a given image. The proposed algorithm has been tested on various real images and its performance is found to be quite satisfactory.
