Face detection based on a novel skin model
基于新的肤色模型的人脸检测方法

Face detection based on gray information would lose some useful information of the original image while RGB was changed into gray. A novel skin model was proposed based on the skin chromaticities distribution in YCbCr color space. It was used in face detection combined with face's geometrical structure. The physics-based face database of Oulu university, Finland was used to test our method. The experiment results show that our method performs well in wide illumination changes.
