Abstract

Accurate and robust location of feature point is a difficult and challenging issue in face recognition. In this paper we propose a new approach of using a cascade of Multi-Resolution Active Shape Models (C-MR-ASM) to locate facial feature points. In our approach, more than one MR-ASMs are obtained from different subsets of training set automatically, and these MR-ASMs are integrated in a cascade to locate facial feature points. Experimental results show that our algorithm is more accurate than traditional MR-ASM. The contribution of this paper includes: 1, unlike traditional MR-ASM, the training set is divided into several subsets automatically based on the principle a trained model should describe all the samples in training set accurately. 2, we propose the new cascade framework, which integrates all the subset MR-ASM.
