ABSTRACT:
A method of utilizing a computer system to automatically detect the location of a face within a series of images, the method comprising the steps of: detecting eye like regions within the series of images; utilizing the eye like regions to extract potential face regions within the series of images; enhancing the facial features in the extracted potential face regions; classifying the features; and verifying the face topology within the potential face regions.
