This paper proposes a method to extract the feature points from faces automatically. It provides a feasible way to locate the positions of two eyeballs, near and far corners of eyes, midpoint of nostrils and mouth corners from face image.

In this paper, we propose a fast combined separability filter, which can selectively detect circular features such as pupils and nostrils in an image of the human face. The proposed filter is designed as a combination of multiple rectangle separability filters so that it can achieve high-speed processing and high positioning accuracy at the same time. The evaluation experiments using synthetic ...
