Facial region detection has broad application prospects, but existing human face region detection methods have some rigorous requirements for the light conditions. Error detection about face area caused by the poor light conditions has a great bad effect on the follow-up processing, such as face recognition, fatigue degree evaluation based on visual. So face region detection in complex lighting conditions has always been the difficult problem. Therefore a self-adaptive illumination compensation method for color images has been proposed. Select the color face images database of the California Institute of Technology to test the method dealing with the face region detection by original image and the image after illumination compensation. In the simulation experiment, the method of Illumination compensation can effectively improve the detection accuracy. Lay the foundation for driver fatigue detection based on visual.

To overcome illumination changes and pose variations, a pose-invariant face detection method is presented. First, an illumination compensation method based on reference white is presented to overcome the lighting variations. The reference white is obtained according to the component Y from YCbCr color space. Then, a mixture face model is constructed by the Cb and Cr from YCbCr color space and H from the HSV color space to extract faces from colorful image. At last, an eyes model is designed to locate eyes in the obtained face images, which can distinguish face from neck and arms ultimately. The presented method is conducted on the CASIA face database. The experimental results have shown that our method is robust to pose changes and illumination variations, and it can achieve well performance.
