Fast Multi-Pose Face Detection in A Complex Background

By using the eye-analog detection, the algorithm can not only reduce the search space of face detection, but also simplify the multi-pose multi-face detection in a complicated background into single front-view vertical face detection in the candidate regions. With knowing the approximate size of the face, it uses multi-template matching and rule verification to determine the location of real face. Experiments demonstrate that it is relatively fast and rather successful.
