When we detect side-view face in color image, we decide a candidate face region using skin-tone color, and confirm to the face by template matching. Cang Wei use a left and a right template of face, calculate to similarity value by hausdorff method, and decide the final side-view face. It has a characteristic that side-view face is wide spreading neck region. To get exactly result, face region is separated vertically by 3 pixel unit, and matched template. In this paper, we assume that a side-view face is a right side-view or a left side-view face. We separate a half of the candidate face region vertically, and regard a left side as left candidate face, a right side as right candidate face by template matching. This method detect faster than Gang Wei method.

In this paper, we propose the new side-view face detection method in color images which contain faces over one. It uses color and the geometrical distance between nose and chin. We convert RGB to YCbCr color space. We extract candidate regions of face using skin color information from image. And then, the extracted regions are processed by morphological filter, and the processed regions are labeled. Also, we correct the gradient of inclined face image using projected character of nose. And we detect the inclined side-view faces that have right and left 45 tips by within via ordinate. And we get 92% detection rate in 100 test images.

Camera position information from 2D face image is very important for that make the virtual 3D face model synchronize to the real face at view point, and it is also very important for any other uses such as: human computer interface (face mouth), automatic camera control etc. We present an algorithm to detect human face region and mouth, based on special color features of face and mouth in $YC_bC_r$ color space. The algorithm constructs a mouth feature image based on $C_b\;and\;C_r$ values, and use pattern method to detect the mouth position. And then we use the geometrical relationship between mouth position information and face side boundary information to determine the camera position. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm and the Correct Determination Rate is accredited for applying it into practice.

The technique, which is able to detect and recognize characters in videos such as a movie or TV drama, can be used for applications which are database management of a general user's facial images for the suppliers of PVR(personal video recorder), mobile phones, and multimedia, etc. In this paper, we propose a face detection algorithm. It searches the character through cast indexing when the scene is changed in video. It is consisted of three stages. The first step is the detection-step of the scene change after producing a paused image. The second step is the face detection-step using color information. The final step is the detection-step which detects its features by the facial boundary. According to the experimental result, it has detected faces in different conditions successfully and more advanced than the existing other one that are using only color information.

Detecting faces in images with complex backgrounds is a difficult task. Our approach, which obtains state of the art results, is based on a generative neural network model: the Constrained Generative Model (CGM). To detect side view faces and to decrease the number of false alarms, a conditional mixture of networks is used. To decrease the computational time cost, a fast search algorithm is proposed. The level of performance reached, in terms of detection accuracy and processing time, allows to apply this detector to a real word application: the indexation of face images on the Web.
