Abstract :

The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face recognition, there is no need for the existence of image. For the extraction offacial features, the combination of knowledge-based and morphological image processingmethods is utilized, which has a high accuracy, compared to other methods. The proposedmethod is analyzed by MATLAB software and tested on different images which demonstratedhigh accuracy and efficiency of the method.
