In this paper, we propose a face region detection/verification method using wavelet packet analysis and structural statistic for frontal human color image. The method extracts skin color lesions from input images, first. and then applies spatial restrictive conditions to the region, and determines whether the region is face candidate region or not. In second step, we find eye region in the face candidate region using structural statistic for standard korean faces. And in last step, the face region is verified via wavelet packet analysis if the face torture were satisfied to normal texture conditions.
