Although there were numerous face detection algorithms over the past decade, some challenging cases remain unresolved. In this paper, we focus on the images with back-view heads. First, features including the image gradient and chrominance are applied to selecting regions which may be hairs. Next, redundant bounding boxes are filtered out by a CNN-based regression model and non-maximum suppression. Finally, geometric information is used for further filtering. Simulations show that the proposed method improves the detection performance for back-view heads, which are hard to be addressed by state-of-the-art face detection methods. ? 2021 IEEE.Information filteringRegression analysisBounding-boxFace detection algorithmFaces detectionGradient featureGradient learningHead detectionImage gradientsLearning architecturesNon-maximum suppressionRegression modellingFace recognitionconference paper10.1109/ICCE-TW52618.2021.96031022-s2.0-85123052241
