Automatic Facial Feature Points Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm which detects automatically the feature points in a face image. This is a fundamental task in many applications, in particular in an automatic face recognition system. Starting from a frontal face image with a plain background we have effected an image segmentation to detect the different facial components (eyebrow, eyes, nose, mouth and chin). After this we have searched for the feature points of each face component. The algorithm has been tested on 320 face images taken from the Stirling University Face Database [10]. The points extracted in this way have been used in a face recognition algorithm based on the Hough transform.

A Survey on Facial Feature Points Detection Techniques and Approaches
Automatic detection of facial feature points plays an important role in applications such as facial feature tracking, human-machine interaction and face recognition. The majority of facial feature points detection methods using two-dimensional or three-dimensional data are covered in existing survey papers. In this article chosen approaches to the facial features detection have been gathered an...
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 کاملFeature-Based Face Recognition
In this paper we propose a face recognition system based on local features. Interesting feature points in the face image are located by Gabor filters, which gives us an automatic system that is not dependent on accurate detection of facial features. The feature points are typically located at positions with high information content (such as facial features), and at each of these positions we ex...
متن کاملAnalysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
متن کاملOn the Detection of Feature Points of 3D Facial Image and Its Application to 3D Facial Caricature
This paper proposes an automated method for extracting 39 feature point$ from 3D facial iniage, and shows that 3D facial caricaturing can be realized by such these smaller number of feature point. and that these 39 feature points could be extmcted automatically. As a result, it was clarified by comparing 3D caricature of 3D PICASSO system with that of a famous caricaturist Mr. Yoshida that 3D f...
