Facial Feature Detection Algorithm Based on Main Characteristics of Eyes

This paper proposed a new facial feature points localization algorithm based on main characteristics of eyes.Use the result of pupil center position to initialize the model of hybrid improved active shape model (ASM) and active appearance model (AAM). The algorithm will use two-dimensional local gray information to update the feature point position when using ASM to locate the face contour feature points. As to the internal features point location, it establishes facial organs independent AAM model. At the same time, it optimizes measure functions of ASM and AAM to judge the convergence of search algorithm. The experimental results show that the new algorithm greatly improved the localization accuracy of facial feature points.
