A New Method for Eye Detection in Color Images

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

The problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. First, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. Second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . At last, the eye center is located by a corner detection algorithm. Part of the FACE94 Database has been used for experiments and benchmarking. Experimental results show that a correct eye detection rate of 94% can be achieved on 300 FACE94 images with different facial expressions and lighting conditions.

A simple and efficient eye detection method in color images

In this paper we propose a simple and efficient eye detection method for face detection tasks in color images. The algorithm first detects face regions in the image using a skin color model in the normalized RGB color space. Then, eye candidates are extracted within these face regions. Finally, using the anthropological characteristics of human eyes, the pairs of eye regions are selected. The p...

Eye Detection in Color Images

We present an approach to detect eyes in color images. First of all, RGB facial image is converted to YCbCr one. According to YCbCr facial image, the proposed algorithm constructs two EyeMaps, one map from luminance component (EyeMapL) and the other from chrominance components (EyeMapC). When the two separate EyeMaps are constructed, we combine them to make final EyeMap. We use final EyeMap to ...

A New Method for Encryption of Color Images based on Combination of Chaotic Systems

This paper presents a new method for encryption of color images based on a combination of chaotic systems, which makes the image encryption more efficient and robust. The proposed algorithm generated three series of data, ranged between 0 and 255, using a chaotic Chen system. Another Chen system was then started with different initial values, which were converted to three series of numbers from...

Automatic Detection of Microaneurysms in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform Method

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious and most frequent eye diseases in the world and the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Following 15 years of diabetes, about 2% of the diabetic patients are blind and 10% suffer from vision impairment due to DR complications. This paper addresses the automatic detection of microaneurysms (MA...
