| Summary: | The human face includes different colors and forms due to its complexity. Therefore, facial image processing
comprises even more problems than image processing of other objects. Interest point detection is one of the
important problems in computer vision, which is the key aspect of solving problems such as facial expression
analysis, age analysis, sex defining, facial recognition, and three-dimensional face modelling in augmented
reality. To accomplish these tasks, facial interest points need automatic definition. A hybrid algorithm was
developed to detect automatically interest regions and points in multiple images in the resented study. The
study used processed facial images from an authorized image database with a resolution of 1600 x 1200, taken
in standardized illumination conditions by using an InSpeck Mega Capturor II optical 3D structured light
digitizer and 1000-W halogen lamp. The presented study integrated skin color analysis with the Haar
classification method, processing 11 male and 25 female facial images with the developed algorithm. The
average accuracy of facial interest point detection was 0.68 mm after testing all images. |
