Abstract

We present a technique for facial feature localization using a two-level hierarchical wavelet network. The first level wavelet network is used for face matching, and yields an affine transformation used for a rough approximation of feature locations. Second level wavelet networks for each feature are then used to fine-tune the feature locations. Construction of a training database containing hierarchical wavelet networks of many faces allows features to be detected in most faces. Experiments show that facial feature localization benefits significantly from the hierarchical approach. Results compare favorably with existing techniques for feature localization.
