Abstract

with wide variety of increase in image and video database, the demand raises for automatic examination of this database as it is cumbersome in manual understanding and examination. This paper provides brief insights into some of renowned and mostly accepted Techniques of face detection. Face detection technique can be simply defined as a technology used by computer system that detects one or several human faces resulting in digital image. Recognizing and tracking the face, estimating pose and expressions, analysis of face and detecting any other features of face are the steps included in face detection method. Nowadays, face detection techniques owes one of the most active research areas of computer vision. Considering the face as an object that grabs countless applications in image processing makes it challenging task in computer vision. This paper provides a survey of existing literature on human face detection system. Three commonly used methods have been considered for comparative analysis in this paper.
