Abstract:

In view of illumination change, a method of face detection and eyes localization based on YCbCr skin model was proposed. First, in order to reduce the noise in the image, the image was preprocessed; then, RGB color space was transformed into YCbCr color space with good skin color clustering characteristics, and skin model was built through the method of Gaussian model. Finally, the face area was detected and the eye position was determined.

Key words: face detection, eyes localization, skin model
