The Research of Multi-pose Face Detection Based on Skin Color and Adaboost

According to the situation of the traditional Adaboost algorithm can’t effectively detect multi-pose, skin color segmentation and Adaboost used to detect face is presented in this paper. First, the general face region-Region of interesting (ROI) is detected with skin color segmentation to divide face and background, and then Adaboost detector is used to detect this region. The experiment result shows multi-pose face can be well detected by the algorithm combing color segmentation and Adaboost.
