Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining spatial location for one or more facial features. A method computes features for an initial frame. The computed features of the initial frame generate a feature image. A method also determines whether a translation is verified between the initial frame and an intermediate frame, wherein a translation is verified in an instance in which a distance used to verify the translation between the initial frame and the intermediate frame is within a predetermined threshold level. A method also includes a face search, using a portion of the feature image, for one or more facial features, wherein the portion of the feature image searched is a fraction of the total number of frames analyzed in a feature computation cycle. A method also determines a spatial location for the one or more facial features detected in the intermediate frame.
