Adaptive logic networks for facial feature detection

Abstract

The task of automatic facial feature detection in frontal-view, ID-type pictures is considered. Attention is focused on the problem of eye detection. A neural network approach is tested using adaptive logic networks, which are suitable for this problem on account of their high evaluation speed on serial hardware compared to that of more common multilayer perceptrons. We present theoretical reasoning and experimental results. The experiments are carried out with images of different clarity, scale, lighting, orientation and backgrounds.
