Abstract

We propose a face and completely facial feature extraction model for facial expression applications. This model applies to both face contour detection and face region detection. First, we introduce skin-color filtering using YCbCr color space to extract the skin-color of face the region. Second, the template ACM is modeled by the active contour model. This model is more active than ASM (Active Shape Model). Our algorithm has been tested in experiments with various subjects, producing a good extraction results.
