| Abstract(in English) | We propose a method for localizing eyes in a human facial image, using a neural model for simple cells in the visual cortex. The method consists of two stages. First, candidates for the eye positions are extracted by a network of Gabor filters: receiving excitatory inputs from the filters with central frequencies and orientations matched with the eye regions and inhibitory inputs from those with lower frequencies, the network yields output with threshold. Second, exact eye positions are determined by minimizing a cost function on positional relationship among the eyes and the eyeblows. We validate the method for facial images of 75 persons, within a certain variation of head orientation and size. |
