Abstract

This paper proposes an active contour model to detect facial regions in a given image. Accordingly we use the color information human faces which is represented by a skin color model. We evolve the active contour using the level set method which allows for cusps, corners, and automatic topological changes. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
