An Unsupervised Approach for the Accurate Localization of the Pupils in Near-Frontal Facial Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method to automatically locate pupils in images (even with low-resolution) containing near-frontal human faces. In particular pupils are localized by an unsupervised procedure consisting of two steps: at first self-similarity information is extracted by considering the appearance variability of local regions and then it is combined with an estimator of circular shapes based on a modified version of the Circular Hough Transform. Experimental evidence of the effectiveness of the method was achieved on challenging databases and video sequences containing facial images acquired under different lighting conditions and with different scales and poses.

متن کاملA Nonlinear Grayscale Morphological and Unsupervised method for Human Facial Synthesis Based on an Example Image
Human facial generation of example image is used as a requirement for biometric applications for the purpose of identifying individuals. In this paper, face generation consists of three main steps. In the first step, detection of significant lines and edges of the example image are carried out using nonlinear grayscale morphology. Then, hair areas are identified from the face of sample. The fin...
متن کاملThe Combinational Use Of Knowledge-Based Methods and Morphological Image Processing in Color Image Face Detection
The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face...
متن کاملHead Frontal-View Identification Using Extended LLE
Automatic head frontal-view identification is challenging due to appearance variations caused by pose changes, especially without any training samples. In this paper, we present an unsupervised algorithm for identifying frontal view among multiple facial images under various yaw poses (derived from the same person). Our approach is based on Locally Linear Embedding (LLE), with the assumption th...
متن کاملA multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...
