Automatic Extraction of Lip Feature Points
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel algorithm for the robust and reliable automatic extraction of lip feature points for speechreading. The algorithm uses a combination of colour information in the image data and knowledge about the structure of the mouth area to find certain feature points on the inner lip contour. A new confidence measure quantifying how well the feature extraction process worked is introduced. A parameter set describing the shape of the mouth is derived from the positions of the feature points. Using a stereo camera system, measurements are in 3D. Such a 3D parameter set is of great value for automatic speech-reading systems.

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
