ABSTRACT:
Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for use in face detection. The methods and apparatuses significantly reduce the number of candidate windows within a digital image that need to be processed using more complex and/or time consuming face detection algorithms. The improved methods and apparatuses include a skin color filter and an adaptive non-face skipping scheme.
