Finding Face Features
Abstract
We describe a computer program which understands a greyscale image of a face well enough to locate individual face features such as eyes and mouth. The program has two distinct components: modules designed to locate particular face features, usually in a restricted area; and the overall control strategy which activates modules on the basis of the current solution state, and assesses and integrates the results of each module. Our main tool is statististical knowledge obtained by detailed measurements of many example faces. We describe results when working to high accuracy, in which the aim is to locate 40 pre-specified feature points chosen for their use in indexing a mugshot database. A variant is presented designed simply to find eye locations, working at close to video rates.
