This document summarizes and compares different techniques for human face detection. It covers two main approaches: feature-based approaches which analyze facial geometry and components, and image-based approaches which use techniques like neural networks, linear subspace methods, and statistical approaches to detect faces in images. The document also discusses challenges like illumination changes and expressions. It concludes that neural networks are among the most efficient current algorithms for face detection, and that feature-based approaches work best for real-time detection while image-based approaches perform well on grayscale images. Future research directions discussed include detecting faces with masks and fusing multiple algorithms.
