This paper proposes an approach to find a human face in an image with high accuracy rate in the better way. Face
detection and recognition is an eminent issue in image processing. Human identity is crucial for identity, search,
monitoring system and security purpose. Face detection is easy for human beings but it’s an arduous task for the
computer system. The computer application in face detection is increasing day by day. In this paper, we are using
Viola-Jones approach to detect a human face from the different images. Using some threshold value with this
approach, we can also detect the children’s faces, Asian origin people faces as well as old age people’s faces.

Keywords: Face Detection, PCA, ANN and Viola-Jones Algorithm.
