Face detection using genetic based SIFT algorithm

Face detection is a technique of detecting any face from a set of images. Face can be detected on the basis of features of the face such as pose, height, width etc. Although there are various techniques implemented for the detection of faces such as face detection using neural networks, but the features extracted using neural network is not sufficient and has low accuracy. Hence in this paper an efficient proposed technique is implemented using genetic algorithm and SIFT algorithm. Genetic algorithm is first applied and then SIFT algorithm is applied for the feature extraction which may result in a better accuracy.
