This paper develops a face detection method in color images using a multi-layer Neural Network classification. The proposed method is based on two image processing steps which first detect skin regions in the color image and then extract face information from those regions. Instead of performing huge search in every part of the test images, a pre-processing method for candidate face regions guides the image search using neural networks. The new algorithms perform fast and accurate face detection. Experiments have been carried out and satisfactory results have been obtained which indicate the robustness of the first process to detect faces under different environmental conditions.
