Abstract: This paper puts forward a new detection method by setting up skin-color template which is determined by the facial feature position and color information to solve the problem that the color-based face detection can only be used for rough detection at face region. Through pre-processing the image with illumination compensation and testing out face candidate region of the image by skin-color model in the YCbCr space, it confirms the position of the face by searching and comparing with the template constructed in this paper. Experimental tests show that the method has a better adaptability to various illumination environments and complex background picture, and the detection precision is also improved.
