Smile detection systems and methods

摘要

Systems and methods of smile detection are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises generating a search map (400) for a subset of an image (300). The method also comprises identifying a plurality of candidates (400a-f) representing mouth corners. The method also comprises generating parabolas (410) between each pair of candidates representing mouth corners. The method also comprises analyzing contour of at least one of the parabolas to determine whether the mouth curves substantially upward to form a smile or curves substantially downward to form a frown.

1. A method of smile detection in an electronic image device, comprising:
generating a search map for a subset of an image, the search map generated as a bitmap of original image data in the image; identifying a plurality of candidates representing mouth corners; generating parabolas between each pair of candidates representing mouth corners; and analyzing contour of at least one of the parabolas to determine whether the mouth curves substantially upward to form a smile or curves substantially downward to form a frown.
