Summary
This article presents a feature based face detection method on a digital still images. Face detection is an indispensable stage in face recognition process, but may also be used as a standalone process in some applications for example in digital photo cameras. Such devices have limited computing power and memory resources, so there is a need for simple algorithm. Presented method is based on a colour and shape filters and is resistant to scene illumination and digital noise and requires no complex nor memory expensive operations.
