Under the guidance of

Mr.M.V.PRABHAKARAN B.E.,
Lecturer, Dept. of CSE.
 OBJECTIVE
• To locate face ROI by locating the eyes.

• To determine the nose tip.

• To finally determine nose bridge in the

presence of geometric changes.
 EXISTING SYSTEM
• Nostril tracking.

• Nose tip detection.

• Template search.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM
• No template search needed.

• System works for change in facial

orientation.

• Utilizes relative intensity information.

 FACE ROI
• ROI is rectangular region with specific
width and height whose values are
obtained from Between-the-eyes.

• Face ROI consists of three steps.

 Steps in Face ROI
• Detection of eyes.

• Finding “Between-the-eyes”.

• Calculating ROI.
 Detection of eyes
• Detection by face geometry.

• Bright-dark relations are tested.

• Identifying position of eyes in image.

 SSR Filter
• Six Segmented Rectangular Filter.

• Scans portions of input image, dividing

into rectangles.

• Subdivided into six segments.

 Between-the-eyes
• Calculating the cumulative sum of the
pixel values.

• Calculate Between-the-eye based on the

face geometry and cumulative sum of
pixel values.
 NOSE BRIDGE
• Three segmented Convolution filter is
used to trace the nose bridge.

• Divides into three segments that traces

maximum intensity profile.

• Traces only the Face ROI of the image.

 APPLICATIONS
• In facial emotional recognition techniques.

• For high definition modern digital cameras

involving facial feature recognition.

• For the current developing art of machine

learning.
 CONCLUSION
• The proposed Real Time Nose Bridge
Tracking System was successfully
implemented .
• The power of technology, manpower, and
more importantly hard work turned this
endeavor a fruitful one, realizing a dream,
transfiguring ideas into implementation.
