abstract = "Finding human faces automatically in a scene is a difficult yet significant problem. This is the first important step in a fully automatic human face recognition system. In this paper we propose a new method to locate human faces in a complex background. This system utilizes a hierarchical knowledge-based method and consists of three levels. The higher two levels are based on mosaic images at different resolutions. In the lower level, an improved edge detection method is proposed. In this research we have solved the problem of scale and made the system more practical, so that the system can locate unknown human faces spanning a wide range of sizes in a complex black-white picture.",
