Face detection is one of the most important issues in the identification and authentication systems that use biometric features. In this paper we present algorithms for detecting skin colour. The selection and implementation of an algorithm for automated authentication system and face detection can significantly improve the effectiveness of such a system. In the paper we examine several algorithms and methods that can be used in mobile application for authentication purpose i.e. NFC payments.
