Facial Feature Extraction Mert ZEYBEKLER
Introduction • Detection of the features • Extraction of feature points • Sending the coordinates of these points(output) as an input to the expression recognition system
Methods Used • OpenCV computer vision library • Robust face detection framework proposed by Viola & Jones. • Haar caracteristiques, Integral image, Cascaded classifiers. • Simple image processing methods.(Thresholding,
System Flow • Grab the frames from the source (webcam/video file) • Detect the face for each frame • Using the face anatomy minimize the search areas for eyes, nose, mouth. • Detect eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows and chin. • Detect the feature points by fitting lines, ellipses, circles to the edges.
Face Anatomy Used • Serves for minimization of the search window for each feature. • Helps gaining time in computation. • Eliminates most of the uninteresting parts.
Current Output (Screenshot) • Still working on the prototype.. • Trying to fit ellipses to the eyes.(a little buggy)
Future Work • Ellipse fitting to the mouth. • Line fitting for the eyebrows and chin.
