Abstract

Face detection is one of the important problem of image processing and pattern recognition. Most of the existing algorithm takes the frame of fixed size in order to detect the faces in any image. In any image it is possible that the image that are near are larger in size in comparison to the faces that are in back side. In this paper we proposed a novel approach for detection of faces of variable size frame. To detect the location of face we used template based algorithm for detecting the circle of eyes. In proposed algorithm we used upright, frontal faces, for a single gray scale images with decent resolution and under good lighting condition. The experiment were performed in windows operating system with matlab2010a software.
