<p>Before you recognize anyone, it is essential to identify various characteristics variations from one person to another. among of this characteristics, we have those relating to the face. Nowadays the detection of skin regions in an image has become an important research topic for the location of a face in the image. In this research study, unlike previous research studies  related  to  this  topic  which  have  focused  on  images  inputs  data  faces,  we  are  more interested to the fields face detection in mixed-subject documents (text + images). The face detection system developed is based on the hybrid method to distinguish two categories of objects from the mixed document. The first category is all that is text or images containing figures having no skin color, and the second category is any figure with the same color as the skin. In the second phase the detection system is based on Template Matching method to distinguish among the figures of the second category only those that contain faces to detect them. To validate this study, the system developed is tested on the various documents which including text and image.</p>

Face detection is a image processing technology that determines the location and size of human faces in digital images or video. This module precedes face recognition systems that plays an important role in applications such as video surveillance, human computer interaction and so on. This proposed work focuses mainly on multiple face detection technique, taking into account the variations in digital images or video such as face pose, appearances and illumination. The work is based on skin color model in YCbCr and HSV color space. First stage of this proposed method is to develop a skin color model and then applying the skin color segmentation in order to specify all skin regions in an image. Secondly, a template matching is done to assure that the segmented image does not contain any non-facial part. This algorithm works to be robust and efficient.
