Abstract
The present invention discloses the detection of faces in digital images. Rather than subjecting the entire image ( ) to computationally intensive face detection analysis, the image is instead segmented into regions ( ) each of which has a substantially homogeneous color. Only those regions ( ) having a predominantly skin color are then subjected to the face detection analysis. Preferably the face detection analysis is independent of facial color.
