The Combinational Use Of Knowledge-Based Methods and Morphological Image Processing in Color Image Face Detection

Abstract The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basic method is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels. The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’t require the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. In addition, to do face recognition, there is no need for the existence of image. For the extraction of facial features, the combination of knowledge-based and morphological image processing methods is utilized, which has a high accuracy, compared to other methods. The proposed method is analyzed by MATLAB software and tested on different images which demonstrated high accuracy and efficiency of the method.
