Description: The aim of the project was to propose a method for reliable detection and extraction of
facial features in two and three dimensions.
Several 2D methods were attempted – edge detection, intensity scanning, and Gabor
transform. The Gabor transform method included much filtering. The edge detection and
intensity scanning methods were largely unreliable. The Gabor transform method was
highly reliable under controlled conditions, and about 60 reliable under uncontrolled
conditions, when it was tested on the Yale Database.
3D methods were attempted, but were never successfully implemented.
The 2D aim was largely met by the Gabor transform method.
The aim was not fulfilled in 3D.
The aim in terms of extraction was fulfilled by an anthropometrical method based on the
work of Kwok-Wai Wong et al.
