چکیده

An algorithm to automatically detect facial features from color images has been developed. First, face region is located using skin-color information. Then, the iris candidates are extracted from the intensity valleys created from the detected face. Next, the costs for each pair of iris candidates are computed to determine the real pair of irises. Mouth region and corners are detected using color space method, image processing and corners detection techniques. This algorithm has been tested to specifically reduce the effects of beard, moustache, hairstyle and facial expression in automated facial features detection. Key-Words: Face recognition, Iris detection, Mouth detection, Facial features

Multi-View Face Detection in Open Environments using Gabor Features and Neural Networks

Multi-view face detection in open environments is a challenging task, due to the wide variations in illumination, face appearances and occlusion. In this paper, a robust method for multi-view face detection in open environments, using a combination of Gabor features and neural networks, is presented. Firstly, the effect of changing the Gabor filter parameters (orientation, frequency, standard d...
