Abstract :
We describe an algorithm for automatic features detection in 2D color images of human faces. The algorithm proceeds with subsequent refinements. First, it identifies the sub-images containing each feature (eyes, nose and lips). Afterwards, it processes the single features separately by a blend of techniques which use both color and shape information. The method does not require any manual setting or operator intervention
