ABSTRACT:
A method for locating face landmarks (e.g., eyes, nose, etc.) from an image is provided. The method comprises preprocessing an input image for alignment; comparing the aligned input image with a reference image located with face landmarks; calculating distances of pixels and pixel rows of the images; finding a correspondence between pixel rows of the reference image and that of the input image; and using the correspondence and the face landmarks of the reference image to find face landmarks of the aligned input image.
