Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, a face detection method implemented in a computer system estimates location and size of face candidate regions for an input image, which includes image regionalization, region labeling and feature capturing, distance transform, and face location and size estimation, to predict at least a face location and size range for the input image. According to the at least a predicted face location and size range, the method further performs an adaptive face detection until a predicted face region is verified.
