Embodiment Construction

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] The human face image database captured by the eye image used in the embodiment. Whole invention realization process is as follows:

[0028] 1. The smoothing processing of eye region image, uses median filter to carry out smooth denoising among the present invention, can further remove the noise in the image by this step, can greatly improve the precision of canthus and pupil location. The original image and the smoothed image such as figure 1 shown.

[0029] 2. Calculate the VPF of each column of the smoothed image, that is, calculate the variance of each column, such as figure 2 shown.

[0030] 3. Compute the derivative of the VPF from the previous step. like image 3 shown. At the same time draw the pupil circle, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0031] 4. Apply the improved SUSAN operator on the eye area to find some candidat...

Abstract

A method based on VPF and improved SVSAN for locating the canthi and pupil in order to recognize human face, sex, expression, age, etc includes such steps as determining the horizontal coordinate of pupil center according to the maximum of VPF, determining the left and right boundaries of pupil (the diameter and radius of pupil) according to the positions of the maximal and minimal first-order derivative of VPF, matching the circle with template to obtain the circle center of pupil, and determining the positions of canthi according to improved SUSCAN operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a positioning method of pupils and eye corners based on VPF (variance projection function) and improved SUSAN (minimum single-valued segment attraction kernel) applied to face recognition, eyeball posture estimation and expression recognition, and relates to the field of image processing. Background technique [0002] Face feature point detection is a key technology in applications such as face recognition, expression recognition, and gender recognition. The accuracy of feature point location directly affects the accuracy of recognition, and eye features are particularly important in face features. Therefore, accurately locating the position of the eyes can greatly improve the accuracy of recognition. The positioning of the current eye position is mainly based on the analysis of image grayscale and image edge. But in most cases, due to the complex background and lighting effects, it is a very difficult job to locate the eyes o...
