Edge and Keypoint Detection in Facial Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution we introduce a method for the automatic detection of facial features and characteristic anatomical keypoints. In the application we are aiming at the anatomical landmarks are used to accurately measure facial features. Our approach is essentially based on a selective search and sequential tracking of characteristic edge and line structures of the facial object to be searched. It integrates model knowledge to guarantee a consistent interpretation of the abundance of local features. The search and the tracking is controlled in each step by interpreting the already derived edge and line information in the context of the whole considered region. For our application, the edge and line detection has to be very precise and flexible. Therefore, we apply a powerful filtering scheme based on steerable filters.

متن کاملFace normalization using multi-scale cortical keypoints
Empirical studies concerning face recognition suggest that faces may be stored in memory by a few canonical representations. Models of visual perception are based on image representations in cortical area V1 and beyond, which contain many cell layers for feature extractions. Simple, complex and end-stopped cells tuned to different spatial frequencies (scales) and/or orientations provide input f...
متن کاملFacial Keypoint Detection
This paper describes an approach to predicting keypoint positions on greyscale images of faces, as part of the Facial Detection (2016) Kaggle competition. Facial keypoints include centers and corners of the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth, among other facial features. Our methodology involves four steps to producing our output predictions. The first step involves a number of training time data a...

متن کاملMulti-scale keypoints in V1 and beyond: object segregation, scale selection, saliency maps and face detection.
End-stopped cells in cortical area V1, which combine outputs of complex cells tuned to different orientations, serve to detect line and edge crossings, singularities and points with large curvature. These cells can be used to construct retinotopic keypoint maps at different spatial scales (level-of-detail). The importance of the multi-scale keypoint representation is studied in this paper. It i...
