Abstract
Face detection plays an important role in many applications of face biometrics. With so much of digitalization, many color images and different color models have evolved in recent years. To detect a face in such image, localizing the face from other background objects have also been a challenging task. Segmenting an image based on skin color as feature had been the motive of this paper. The paper implements region based skin color detection using L*a* b color model and a hybrid color model. Face is localized by a bounding box. Both the color models have been implemented to localize face for a set of database images, for some of real time images and have an accuracy of 92% and 93% respectively.
