Face Detection Technique for Challenging Conditions Using Multi-color Model Integration
摘要
This paper introduces a novel face detection technique designed to address the challenges of occlusion and uneven illumination in still images. Accurate face detection is critical for applications such as facial recognition, gesture analysis, and surveillance systems, which require machines to perform tasks with human-like precision. The proposed method integrates multiple colour models—YCbCr, HSV, and L × a × b—to enhance face detection accuracy under difficult conditions, including partial obstructions and inconsistent lighting. To validate the approach, experiments were conducted using images from established public datasets, including the AR face dataset and the Colour FERET dataset. By employing advanced machine learning techniques, the method emulates human perceptual abilities, effectively detecting, localizing, and recognizing faces across various scenarios. The results highlight the method's robustness in overcoming limitations faced by traditional detection techniques. This research advances the capability of automated systems in face detection, offering potential improvements in biometric security, human–computer interaction, and intelligent video surveillance.
