Face detection based on skin color likelihood

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a boosting-based face detection method using skin likelihood.

• Our method emphasizes skin color while deemphasizing non-skin color.

• Good tolerance to severe face pose variation is obtained.

• The proposed method shows robustness against complex background.
