ABSTRACT:
This report describes our approach to localization of the face from
the profile. It contains methods for finding interesting parts in the face.
Interesting parts are: chin, lips, nose, eye (we see only one from the
profile). Our algorithm consists of 6 steps:
- Edge detection
- Vectorization of edges
- Computing a curvature for each edge
- Finding a local extrema on a curvature
- Computing features for the extrema
- Classification
Limitations of the input image and discussion about the choice of our
approach are in the initial chapters. The central part of this report deals
with detailed description of our approach. The discussion about the obtained
results is reported at the end of our document.
