A New Face Localization Method Based on Symmetry Transform and Gaussian-Derivatives
face localization is always heavily affected by complex background
uncontrolled lighting condition and low imaging quality.To solve these problems
a novel face localiztion method in natural indoor environment is presented.The main idea is to use the strong symmetry and the three-dimensional property of human face.Firstly
edge map of original image is obtained by using the Gaussian-derivative operator.Secondly
we introduce some novel rules to the generalized symmetry tranform and radial symmetry transform to localize the glabellum
and then to estimate the scale factor.Finally
accurate eyes localization is realized with similar idea.The results of some experiments are also given which show the robustness and effectiveness of this method.
