چکیده
We locate the eye corners, eyelids, and irises in every frame of an image sequence, and analyze the movements of the irises and eyelids to determine changes in gaze direction and blinking, respectively. Using simple models for the motions of the head and eyes, we determine the head-independent motions of the irises and eyelids by stabilizing for the head motion. The head-independent motions of the irises can be used to determine behaviors like saccades and smooth pursuit. Tracking the upper eyelid and using the distance between its apex and the center of the iris, we detect instances of eye closure during blinking. In experiments on two short image sequences, in one of which the subject was wearing glasses, we successfully located the irises in every frame in which the eyes were fully or partially open, and successfully located the eyelids 80% of the time. When motion information in the form of normal 7ow was used, the irises were successfully tracked in every frame in which the eyes were fully or partially open, and the eyelids were successfully located and tracked 90% of the time. ? 2002 Pattern Recognition Society.

Do mixture models in chromaticity space improve skin detection?
This note reports an experiment where a single Gaussian model and several Gaussian mixture models were used to model skin color in the rg chromaticity space. By using training and test databases containing millions of skin pixels, we show that mixture models can improve skin detection, but not always. There is a relevant operating region where no performance gain is observed. ? 2003 Pattern Rec...
