Nonparametric Facial Feature Localization Using Segment-Based Eigenfeatures

Figure 1

The proposed facial feature localization method. Yellow rectangle on the top left image represents coarse face region from Viola-Jones face detector. The green spots near eyebrows are centers of segments. The red spot on the bottom right image is a feature point, left corner of lip. The orange arrows are the directional vectors from segment centers to feature point.
