Abstract
There is described a method for facial features detection in a picture frame containing a skin tone area, comprising dividing () the skin tone area into a number of parts; and for each part of the skin tone area, constructing () a luminance map, constructing an edge map by extracting () edges from the luminance map, defining () an edge magnitude threshold, building () a binary map from the edge map by keeping only the edges having a magnitude beyond the defined edge magnitude threshold and eliminating the others; and then extracting () facial features from the built binary map. An inter-related facial features detector is further described.
