Comparative Study of Harris and Active Contour Using Viola-Jones Algorithm for Facial Landmarks Detection

Journal Title: Transactions on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

In this paper, we present a comparative study of two methods: Harris corners detector (H) and Active Contour detector (A.C) using ViolaJones algorithm (V.J) for facial landmarks (eyes, nose, mouth) corners detection. These methods were implemented on two face databases; ECVP and FEI databases with combination of two methods (V.J + H) and (V.J + A.C). Experimental results showed that (V.J +A.C) gives a higher rate of detection than (V.J + H) method.
