            Abstract : 
The problem of detecting human faces in complex images using large set of templates is investigated in this paper. For the recognition, templates are adaptively picked up for matching using a special hash table that allows to substantially speed-up the template search. Principles for implementing the hash table are outlined and experimental results of face detection are provided.
