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 hav...

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...

A method for detecting the facial feature points, such as the pupil, subnasal point, and corners of the mouth, is proposed. The proposed method is composed of two stages: candidate detection of facial feature points and optimization of these points by using a facial shape model. The candidates for each facial-feature-point are extracted from a face image by using generalized learning vector qua...

The evaluation and measurement of human body dimensions are achieved by physical anthropometry. This research was conducted in view of the importance of anthropometric indices of the face in forensic medicine, surgery, and medical imaging. The main goal of this research is to optimization of facial feature point by establishing a mathematical relationship among facial features and used optimize...

In this paper, we propose a face recognition algorithm using AAM and Gabor features. Gabor feature vectors which are well known to be robust with respect to small variations of shape, scaling, rotation, distortion, illumination and poses in images are popularly employed for feature vectors for many object detection and recognition algorithms. EBGM, which is prominent among face recognition algo...

We present a nonparametric facial feature localization method using relative directional information between regularly sampled image segments and facial feature points. Instead of using any iterative parameter optimization technique or search algorithm, our method finds the location of facial feature points by using a weighted concentration of the directional vectors originating from the image ...
