Abstract :
This paper presents a new scheme to design a face detection system by using a genetic algorithm (GA). In particular, the object of this paper is to design a fast face detection system. 5 human emotions are considered; neutrality, happiness, sadness, anger and surprise. This paper pays attention to lip forms in human characteristics. Furthermore, in order to decrease the detection time, GA is used for the purpose of focusing on the lips in images. Finally, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, we show simulation examples
