Abstract
Eye corner location is a hot research topic in recent years. A novel eye corner Location method is proposed in the paper. Firstly, a haar features face detection based on adaboost is used to detect the face in an image. Secondly, a step of accurate eye corner location is proposed, which consists of rough eye location, contour extraction ellipse fitting, corner detection and eye corner location. Rough eye location is used for reducing the search range in the image. Then contour extraction based on ellipse fitting is taken. In the following, the curvature scale space(CSS) corner detection operator is used for corners detection. At last, the inner and outer eye corners can be determined according to statistics result of frequency distribution of the corner points projection. The proposed method is proved to be an effective and robust method according to the result of comparative experiments.
