Method And Apparatus For Detecting Eye Location In An Image A simple method for segmenting eyes and extracting parameters enables furthe r processing of the image to enable a person to appear to be making eye contac t with another via a video conferencing system. This method is a first step for eye synthes is and gaze detection because it can automatically extract select eye parameters useful to these processes. Its advantage is that no a priori information is necessary to seg ment eyes, unlike modeling and neural network methods. The method of the present invention fir st blurs the image to make it easier to determine the location of the two eye regions in the image. The eyebrows are then eliminated based on the located eye regions. The eyes are thensegmented and the eye parameters are extracted from the resulting image. According to the present invention, the process applies a Gaussian filter, h(~,.gamma.),where g(~,.gamma.) is the resulting image and(~,.gamma.) is the original image. |
