Abstract

This paper proposes a solution algorithm to locate the facial features on the human face images. First, the proposed algorithm determines the face region based on skin-tone segmentation and morphological operations. Then, we locate the facial features (i.e. brows, eyes, and mouth) by their color information. Finally, this algorithm set the shape control points based on the Facial Animation Parameters in the MPEG-4 standard on the located facial features. Results of experiments to the face images show that the proposed approach is not only robust but also quit efficient.
