Extraction of Face Regions and Eye Windows from a Set of Gray-scale Images with Different Face Orientations

The enrollmentof facetemplates and eye windows in a detection system of eye blinking or an estimation system of face orientation requires the extraction of face region and eye region in a face image. In order to automatically enroll face templates and eye windows with various face orientations, we present a novel method of extracting face region and eye window by using a set of gray-scale images. Experiments under various conditions(i.e., different illuminations, different backgrounds and so on) show very promising results. These experimental results show the method has possibility of application for enrolling the face templates and the eye windows.
