Regression and classification approaches to eye localization in face images by Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…We investigate three approaches to the task: a regression approach aiming to directly minimize errors in the predicted eye positions, a simple Bayesian model of eye and non-eye appearance, and a discriminative eye detector trained using AdaBoost. By using identical training and test data for each method we are able to perform an unbiased comparison. …”
