AAM Based Facial Feature Region Segmentation in Traditional Chinese Medicine Complexion Diagnosis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fast and accurate segmentation of the facial feature regions is of great significance to research on objectification of complexion diagnosis. In this paper, we used the active appearance model (AAM) system to accurately locate 68 key points, and segmented the face region simultaneously. According to the Chinese medicine complexion-viscera principle, five face regions representing the five internal organs were segmented by using 68 key points. Experiments have shown that this method was efficient and fast for facial feature region segmentation, and laid a foundation for further research of objectification of complexion diagnosis.
