A Fast Hierarchical-based Algorithm of Eye Locating
Hao Che · 2008
The eye positions are very important landmarks in face recognition.In this paper a fast hierarchical-based algorithm is proposed to locate eyes from face images.This new algorithm involves three main steps.First,MER(minimum extremal region)is introduced here to locate eye roughly.Then,a three-layer-filter is applied to rule out false detections step by step.Finally,an accurate eye-locating method is used to adjust the eye locations precisely.This algorithm has good results in CAS-PEAL,JAFFE and our own face database.Therefore,it is considered to be an effective method.
