Abstract
This paper presents a new method for extracting features from human lips. Correct pointers extraction has a significant meaning for the whole process of identification, recognition expressions and detection of people features. The introduced algorithm concerns about finding four points around the mouth: two for corners, one situated in center on the border of upper lips and the last on the border of lower lips, which next are used for creating feature vectors
