The paper presents an algorithm designed to face and facial features (eyes, eyebrows) detection. First, human skin regions are segmented and processed by morphological operators to detect the human face. After the face has been detected, a series of parameters that will be taken into account by the eyes detection stage are calculated. The most important parameters are face orientation and distance between the eyes.
