Abstract: A method is proposed which is based on curvature scale space to detect people’s head. The presented algorithm analyzes the head shape, and gets the features which are different from other parts. The curvature of each point on the contour is calculated under the curvature scale space frame, combines with the special features of head shape to detect the head. Experimental results show that the presented method can detect people’s head effectively in complex background and provide a new approach for people’s head detection.

Key words: head detection, curvature scale space, pattern recognition
