Abstract :
Although there are thousands of algorithms available for face extraction from static images based on histogram intersection technique or feature based face detection but these are still complex and it is not a trivial task to implement these algorithm, as a matter of fact most programmers regard these techniques as time chewing monsters because most of newly available programming languages does not provide any specific support for achieving the task. Hence we require a simplified algorithm, which can easily operate under normal circumstances and can easily be implemented by a programmer having technical knowledge instead of getting in to very coarse-grained mathematical details. The algorithm we discuss in this paper is some how uses histogram technique but it is not the purely dependent on histogram intersection or some other technique. There are some pros and cons of every system and thus this system is also not hundred percent perfect, how ever over the time we can develop a system with capability of detecting multiple faces in a single image and naturally combining couple of more algorithms, we can also achieve 3D face detection. In this paper a prototype is implemented using Microsoft GDI+ within limitations of managed and safe code.
