System and method for detecting and tracking facial features in images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for detecting and tracking features in a series of images of an object, comprising:
- a camera;
a microprocessor, in communication with said camera, said microprocessor running software for performing, for each image, the functions of;
(a) detecting the presence of said object in said image and placing said object in a bounding box;
(b) applying an average model consisting of a plurality of landmarks to the center of said bounding box;
(c) using multiple applications of a regression function to update said landmarks by mapping features of said object to said landmarks.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for detecting and tracking facial features in images and can be used in conjunction with a camera. Given a camera, the system will detect facial landmarks in images. The present invention includes software for real time, accurate facial feature detection and tracking in unconstrained images and videos. The present invention is better, more robust and faster than existing approaches and can be implemented very efficiently allowing real-time processing, even on low-power devices, such as mobile phones.
