Abstract :
An improved algorithm for isolating spectacles from faces is presented. To increase the recognition accuracy of human faces, the faces must be isolated precisely. In conventional systems, however, faces with spectacles are occasionally not exactly extracted because of the presence of spectacles. From this point of view, an improved algorithm for isolating spectacles and faces is presented. From the experimental results, it is clear that the extraction accuracy increases approximately 10% to an accuracy of 98.5%.
