ABSTRACT:
A computer program product for locating first and second objects, each having substantially the same physical characteristics, and the ratio of the distance between the first and second objects and the size of each object is substantially invariant, the computer program product comprises: a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon for performing the steps of determining potential flesh regions in an image; determining valley regions in an image; performing template matching for determining a plurality of locations that give a desirable match of the object relative to the template; and performing verification for determining the likelihood of pairs of potential eye candidates at the locations determined in the performing template matching step.
