Abstract

This paper proposes a neural network system to detect human faces. Our scheme is composed of a preprocess and KenzanNET. Preprocessing analyzes hyperspectral images by using a hybrid self-organizing classification model to extract skin area and making a facial candidate pattern based on the extracted skin area. KenzanNET discriminate a face from other body parts. KenzanNET is a kind of feed forward neural network and is made from CombNET [ I[ improved by an additional learning function. Under the various conditions in terms of background and brightness in a room and the distance between people and camera, our system can detect human face with 76.9% accuracy.
