An automatic facial feature extraction method is
presented in this paper. The method is based on the edge
density distribution of the image. In the preprocessing stage a
face is approximated to an ellipse, and genetic algorithm is
applied to search for the best ellipse region match. In the
feature extraction stage, genetic algorithm is applied to
extract the facial features, such as the eyes, nose and mouth,
in the predefined sub regions. The simulation results
validates that the proposed method is capable of
automatically extracting features from various video images
effectively under natural lighting environments and in the
presence of certain amount of artificial noise and of multi-
face oriented with angles.
