Abstract

Image processing focuses on improving image color quality. According to our research, low-pass and high-pass filters boost color images for face detection. We also chosen 621,107 pictures of 936 people, scaled them to 160 × 160 pixels, and modified the color format from RGB to YUV or BGR. The composition of BRG, YUV, and RGB with a low-pass or high-pass filter improves image quality. This study proposes six approaches, the best of which yields 95.12% accuracy compared to the original’s 94.15%. Next, measure accuracy using YouTube Faces (YTF) and Dlib’s face detector. In addition, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the mean squared error (MSE) are used to measure image noise.
