Three-Dimensional Measurement of Nostril Positions Based on Stereo-Camera

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the three dimensional measurement of facial feature points. The nostril part was picked up as a feature point. The humans face was observed by the stereo-camera in real time. The depth position of the nostril was derived by the binocular parallax between the detected positions of the two cameras. Here, a new detection method for a nostril was suggested. First of all, the binalization image obtained from the stereo-camera was changed to the connection ingredient by processing labeling. Next, the system narrowed down the candidate of the nostril as a facial feature point by checking the geometric characteristics such as size, the center of gravity every ingredient. Furthermore, the skin color around the nostril was utilized to enhance the detection system.
