AUTOMATIC FACE SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS. A QUICK SURVEY

  • Chapter
Computer Vision and Graphics

Part of the book series: Computational Imaging and Vision ((CIVI,volume 32))

Abstract

Considerable interest has been received in automatic face synthesis and analysis over the last three decades. This paper surveys the current state of the art in face synthesis, and also presents face detection and eye detection selected algorithms along with facial feature extraction approach based on using Harris corner detector in face analysis.
