Abstract :
Detection and localization of face in colour images with skin tone regions involves many challenges. This paper proposes an algorithm that uses a combination of wavelets, edge detection techniques to improve the efficiency during segmentation and feature extraction stage. Experimental results using the proposed algorithm presented here show improved false acceptance and false rejection rates.
