Abstract

Location of eyes is an important visual clue for processes such as scaling and orientation correction, which are precursors to face recognition. This paper presents a robust algorithm for eye detection which makes use of edge information and distinctive features of eyes, starting from a roughly localized face image. Potential region pairs are generated, and then template matching is applied to match these region pairs with a generated eye line edge map template using primary line segment Hausdorff distance to get an estimation of the centers of two eyes. This result is then refined to get iris centers and also eye centers. Experimental results demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed algorithm.
