Abstract :
Automatic detection of human face features plays a significant role in expression recognition and human computer interaction. Human eyebrows shape has good specificity and stability, hence precise localization outlines a series of threads for face expression analysis. This paper will introduce a simple method for eyebrow localization. The determined positions allow geometrical extraction of the upper face area, which will be further investigated for expression recognition.
