A new algorithm of face detection under strong light condition

This paper discusses face detection algorithms based on different color spaces, and choose the YCbCr color space to detect human face. Then it provides a new face detection algorithm based on both face-color and hair-color space. It is an adaptive algorithm. Experiment results show that even under the strong light conditions, or the background color and face color is similar, the algorithm also can accurately detect a front or slightly sloping of the face.
