A Robust Algorithm for Extracting Facial Areas for the Face with Spectaclees

Abstract

This paper presents an improved facial area extraction algorithm. In our previous method, the facial area occasionally misextracted when the subject wear the spectacles. In this paper the improved algorithm which can be applied for the person with spectacles is presented. From the experimental results executed with 1226 frames, the extraction accuracy was improved from a 91.1 % to a 98.7 %.
