Automatic Extraction of Nose Shape in Model-Based Coding

A simple but effective and applied algorithm for nose shape extraction in model-based image coding was presented.It locates the face region as well as facial feature regions within complex scene by skin-color image segmentation,binary-conversion of image with feature preserving,eigenface verification,facial feature filtering and k-means classifier.It proposes the deformable templates of nose shape described as two circles and two unsymmetrical parabolas and the corresponding energy function,and the detected initial parameters of the nose shape accelerate the template matching by energy minimizing of Powell algorithm.The extracted nose shape provides important feature parameters for the automatic adaptation of general facial wire-frame model in model-based coding.The experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs well in estimation of the nose shape under different face poses.
