Comparative analysis of Haar and Skin color method for face detection

Face detection is the fundamental part of any face processing system. It is growing as an active research area in field of image processing. Various methods like feature based, skin color and appearance based model are proposed. But because of dynamicity of human face, speed and accuracy become the issue point. The aim of this paper is to have comparative analysis Haar Classifier and Skin color detection method for face detection. Using Viola Jones for haar detection rate for facial feature like nose, eye and mouth is calculated. The efficiency achieved by Haar for face is 89.42% while that in skin color model is 84.61%. This paper also emphasize on some applications of face detection.
