ABSTRACT
Detection of facial landmarks is one of the first steps for face detection and recognition, emotion recognition, alignment of face images and many more [112]. The elastic bunch graph matching (EBGM) method provides a promising facial landmark detection where Gabor-jets are used to evaluate the features of landmarks and a face graph is developed to automatically select the test landmarks. In this chapter both EBGM and average synthetic exact filter applications towards landmark localization are given.
