Adaptive Automatic Facial Feature Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic facial feature detection is typically solved by using manually segmented images to train a feature detector. In this paper, we investigate whether it is possible to improve the detection performance of such a feature detector by using additional unsegmented images. We propose a new adaptive automatic facial feature segmentation algorithm which aims to do this. The experimental results using this algorithm demonstrate that it is possible to improve the detection performance obtained from a small segmented training set by using a larger number of additionalunsegmented images.

Automatic Extraction of Frontal Facial Features
This paper describes algorithms for face and facial features detection in still frontal images. It is designed for the task of automatic image-based 3-D face modelling. This requires the detection to be accurate enough to produce exact facial features and robust to images of widely varying quality and picture taking conditions. The facial feature detection task is solved in several steps. First...

متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
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...

متن کاملAdaptive Segmentation with Optimal Window Length Scheme using Fractal Dimension and Wavelet Transform
In many signal processing applications, such as EEG analysis, the non-stationary signal is often required to be segmented into small epochs. This is accomplished by drawing the boundaries of signal at time instances where its statistical characteristics, such as amplitude and/or frequency, change. In the proposed method, the original signal is initially decomposed into signals with different fr...
