i don't think its a good idea to try to find a human using a neck detection. This part isn't so unique from the human body. If the picture is small enough a algorithm trying to find a neck will recognise a part of human hand of leg or shaved chimpanzee's neck for a human neck :). The face on the other hand is unique not only from the rest of the human body but from the rest of the nature. So i guess its better to stay with the algorithms for recognizing human faces than necks

Couldn't you modify a facial recognition library to find the area under the face that it is already finding? The neck is usually under the chin (there may not be a distinction between chin and neck in some people).
