A System for Human Face and Facial Feature Location

This paper presents an implementation of a system designed for location of human faces and facial features such as pupils, eyes, nose and mouth. The kernel of the system is an integration of several algorithms, such as human face center -of-gravity template, illumination compensation, and so on . A false-face removal algorithm is proposed in this paper especially for the distinguish ing of cartoon faces from true faces. The testing experiments of the system show quite good results, the average detection accuracy rates for face detection and facial feature location are 97.8% and 87.5% respectively.
