Abstract:
1. A method for determining whether a portion of an image contains a face, comprising: for each region of an N number of regions of an image, determining a region value for that region such that an N number of region values are derived, wherein the N regions are within a particular portion of the image, and wherein N is an integer greater than two; generating a first feature value for a first feature, wherein generating the first feature value comprises: obtaining a first value range that is associated with the first feature, wherein first feature values within the first value range indicate a likelihood that a face is present; determining whether the first feature value falls within the first value range; and in response to determining that the first feature value does not fall within the first value range, storing data that indicates that the particular portion of the image does not contain a face; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
