Eye Localization from Infrared Thermal Images

摘要

By using the knowledge of facial structure and temperature distribution, this paper proposes an automatic eye localization method from infrared thermal images. A facial structure consisting of 15 sub-regions is proposed to extract Haar-like features. Eight classifiers are learned from the features selected by Adaboost algorithm for left and right eye, respectively. A vote strategy is used to find the most likely eyes. Experimental results on the NVIE and Equinox databases show the effectiveness of our approach.
