Abstract
A method for finding facial features using information from an HLS colour space is presented. This method attempts to find the face with simple single band operations and in case of failure a more advanced method is used. Using this approach the nice photos which are the majority will be handled quickly, more difficult photos will be handled with more advanced methods and only a few images will be reported as failures.
