Normalized Cross-correlation (NCC) is a measurement method normally utilized to compute the similarity matching between the templates and the rectangular blocks of the input image to locate the face position. However, the NCC metric is always suffering to locate the face especially in the images with illumination variations. In this paper we proposed a fast template matching technique based on Optimized similarity measurement metrics namely: Sum of Absolute Difference (OSAD) and Sum of Square Difference (SSD) to overcome the drawback of NCC. Our results show the highest performance of OSAD compared with other measurements and the improvement of OSSD comparing with SSD as well. Two sets of faces namely Yale Dataset and MIT-CBCL Dataset were used to evaluate our technique with success localization accuracy up to 100. date: 2012 publisher: Newswood Limited official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84867471927&partnerID=40&md5=02c053284f4cd3d6d78c25ea177c4047 full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Engineering and Computer Science volume: 2195 place_of_pub: Kowloon pagerange: 726-729 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789881925114 issn: 20780958 citation: Dawoud, N.N. and Samir, B.B. and Janier, J.
