Abstract
Face-detection processing methods, image processing devices, and articles of manufacture are described. According to one arrangement, a face-detection processing method includes accessing image data of a plurality of images to be processed for detection of human faces in the images, determining whether or not to use skin-detection processing for face-detection processing of individual ones of the images, and in accordance with the determining, performing the face-detection processing of one of the images using the skin-detection processing to detect human faces in the one of the images and performing the face-detection processing of another of the images without using the skin-detection processing to detect human faces in the another of the images.
