Abstract

The eye localization is a fundamental step in human-computer interaction and automatic face recognition. In this paper, a new eye detection method for face images is proposed. Firstly, the rough eye positions are found by Gabor transformation and cluster analysis. Secondly, a detection of pupil centers will be continued by applying two neighborhood operators in the rough eye regions. A subset of the color FERET database and the Faces 1999 database are used to evaluate the proposed method. Results of experiments show that our method is robust and efficient.
